ABOUT THE SERIES

First Look:
       Ambrose Lavendale is an agent with American Intelligence.
       The year we meet and start following this young man's adventures is 1916. The Great War has been ongoing in Europe for just shy of two years. The United States has not yet entered the conflict and would not for another year but interest in Washington on the conflagration is tremendous. To that end, numerous individuals have been dispatched across the Atlantic to obtain intelligence on its behalf. One of those people is Lavendale.
       When we first come into contact with Lavendale, he is described as "a tall, well-set-up young man, with a face rather grave for his years and a mouth a little over-firm". He is usually dressed to the nines, his clothing bespoke from an English tailor of excellent regard.

       Regarding spotting a very beautiful woman in a restaurant, "Lavendale was neither susceptible nor imaginative. He considered himself a practical, hard-headed person, notwithstanding the fact that he had embraced what was for his country practically a new profession. Nevertheless, he was conscious of what almost amounted to a new interest in life as he studied, a little too eagerly, perhaps, the girl's features." The woman, whom Lavendale did not yet know, was Suzanne de Freyne, a young lady who will come to play a major role in not only Lavendale's professional life but in his personal one as well.

Good line:

"Everything in the world was impossible before it was done."
