I couldn't finish this one. I've read a lot of Victorian and Edwardian adventure stories, so, I wasn't surprised how the plot developed, nor was I surprised at the direction the story was taking. On the other hand, to say that this tale is predictable is to be too mild, once the story is set in motion, the events unfold in an all too predictable manner. In the end, I just gave up as I didn't really seem to care how the story ended up, as I was sure the guy and the gal would live happily ever after. Not that there aren't some interesting turns of events, nor is action necessarily lacking, what is lacking is any hint of believability. Once I got into the heart of this novel, I was never presented with a single plot twist or turn that wasn't wholly predictable. The story starts of moving well enough along with some interesting twists and turns, but, then boy meets girl, and, the story after that just drags on. Oh things happen, but, there isn't any life to the story once boy meets girl, the plot loses its verve, its intensity. I eventually lost interest and moved on to something more interesting.
