Set between the big wars, a amnesiac war hero resurfaces to rescue the family conglomerate from financial havoc. Long presumed dead, he and the family fear the publicity associated with his return from the dead. They manage to stifle the press. So much for having the media in your pocket. There is an interesting section concerning stock speculation and share value that is reminiscent of Frank Norris The Pit and Zolas Money. Will we never learn? Not so long as we can play our little games with other peoples money. Some 200 plus pages later, after we have learned most of his current history, he gets his memory back. That leads him to seek one more link. He finds it on the last page. One can surmise what it is from the final part of the book (a mere 24 pages), yet it will hardly seem plausible that he never recognized it as it happened after his period of amnesia.
