The Frontier (1912)
by Maurice LeBlanc, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos

Edition: New York: Hodder & Stoughton: 1912.

... Adventure of a different vein and another land fills The Frontier, by Maurice Leblanc, the author of Arsène Lupin. The underlying feud between French and German is the theme, together with a romance, highly spiced, as befits a story in which Frenchmen play the leading part. There is a lot of drama, fairly well done, and some unprofitable dreaming. —The Bookman, August 1912
