| Summary |
"No. 101" by Wymond Carey is a historical romance written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous backdrop of the Great Swedish War, the narrative unveils the mysterious connection between British intelligence and a clandestine agent known only by the cipher "No. 101." The story follows characters such as Captain Statham and Mr. George Onslow as they navigate espionage and romantic entanglements, all while uncovering state secrets that could alter the course of the war. The opening of "No. 101" introduces us to London in January 1745, where a government official is puzzled by secret communications received from the enigmatic agent, No. 101. This correspondence reveals crucial intelligence about French military plans, piquing the curiosity of the three main characters: Onslow, Captain Statham, and the secretive No. 101. As intrigue unfolds, the protagonist, Statham, prepares for his role in a critical military engagement while grappling with the allure of romance and the danger of boarding treachery, setting up a tale filled with suspense, betrayal, and the complexities of love during wartime.
