by Clair W. (Clair Wallace) Hayes
Two spirited American youths, barely out of adolescence, find themselves thrust into the heart of the Great War. After a daring escape from Berlin, they present a confidential dispatch from the Russian Grand Duke to Field Marshal Sir John French, earning a place on his staff. Their earlier exploits—racing through Liège’s defense, thwarting a German coup, and rescuing a loyal army dog—have already marked them as resourceful and brave.
Now attached to a Cossack regiment, the boys navigate the chaotic front lines, delivering crucial messages and confronting danger at every turn. Their bond with the formidable Cossack Alexis and the ever‑faithful dog adds both strength and humanity to their perilous missions. As they repair a battered airship and prepare for the next sortie, listeners are left anticipating the further trials that await these intrepid allies in the trenches of the Aisne.
