This features an interesting, enterprising Frenchman's adventures on the front lines during 1915. He is matched against a German superspy—the woman of mystery—and must battle her for all he holds dear, both wife and country. The hero, Paul, is a Hentyesque Superman sort of hero, but a fun fellow to root for anyway. The villainess is clever and a hard one to beat, so it is a worthy foe for our extra-talented hero.
All in all, an interesting action-adventure set in the early days of WW1.
