| Summary |
"The Nameless Man" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of political tension and intrigue, it revolves around complex themes of espionage and deception, with a focus on characters like Colonel Calhoun and Julian Barclay who find themselves entangled in a web of conspiracy and murder. The opening of the book introduces Colonel Calhoun, who is troubled by the threats posed by Japan as tensions rise in the Pacific. Calhoun is passionately concerned with America's military and economic security, and his discussion with a companion reveals the gravity of his worries regarding espionage and potential conflict. This scene sets the stage for the unfolding drama, hinting at political machinations and personal stakes that intertwine with the fates of other characters, including Barclay, who soon becomes embroiled in the mysterious death of a fellow traveler named Tilghman on a train journey. As the narrative unfolds, the stakes heighten, revealing layers of intrigue, identity, and perhaps romantic entanglements that complicate the characters' lives.
