This American fiction written in 1915 tells the World War I adventure of Cyril Hammersley and his fiancée, an American woman by the name of Doris Mather. Cyril's father was English, and his mother was Prussian, and it makes it difficult to figure out which country earns his loyalty in this conflict. He is constantly viewed with suspicion by almost all of the people in his social circle because he appears to be doing nothing at all, not even caring about what is occurring around him. Even his fiancée Doris doubts Cyril and pushes him time and time again to do something and care about what's happening. This exciting work contains spies and counterspies, encoded messages, confidential meetings, and a wonderful giant plane known as "The Yellow Dove". The tension built at the beginning of the novel remains till the end, which keeps the reader hooked throughout the story. This is an exciting work, considered very convenient for the public, and was most certainly intended to inspire as well as amuse the readers.

Excerpt from The Yellow Dove Rifts of sullen gray in the dirty veil of vapor beyond the reaches of dunes, where the sea in long lines of white, like the ghostly hosts of lost regiments, clamored along the sand... A soughing wind, a shrieking of sea-birds, audible in pauses between the faraway crackle of rifle-fire and the deep reverberations of artillery - familiar music to ears trained by long listening. A shrill scream of flying shrapnel, a distant crash and then a tense hush... Silence - nearly, but not quite. A sound so small as to be almost lost in the echoes of the clamor, an impact upon the air like the tapping of the wings of an insect against one's ear-drum, a persistent staccato note which no other noise could still, borne with curious distinctness upon some aerial current of the fog bank. And yet this tiny sound had a strange effect upon the desolate scene, for in a moment, as if they had been sown with dragon's teeth, the sand dunes suddenly vomited forth armed men who ran hither and thither, their hands to their ears, peering aloft as though trying to pierce the mystery of the skies.
