Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Indeed this gets 5 from me, read it in three nights, the plot, characters reminded me of those Lone Wolf movies with Ron Randell, Gerald Mohr, Melvyn Douglas, etc.
AND WHAT AN ENDING!!!

The Adventure Continues

This, the second book in Vance's Lone Wolf Series, returns us to the adventures of Michael Lanyard, a reformed ex-thief. At the end of the first book, The Lone Wolf, our hero had defeated the plans of a consortium of criminals in Paris, redeemed his past life by turning stolen secret documents over to the authorities, and escaped with his true love to England. This second book takes place approximately two years later. The opening of The False Faces finds Lanyard crossing No-Man's-Land in the trenches of World War I, intent only upon one purpose in life---to avenge the death of his wife and baby daughter in war-torn Belgium. Persuing the German agent Ekstrom, whom he holds responsible for the murders, Lanyard adopts a new identity and crosses the Atlantic on the British ship "Assyrian." Once aboard ship, he encounters various nefarious characters and becomes embroiled in the affairs of a beautiful mysterious girl, Cecelia Brooke. Lanyard becomes convinced that German agents are aboard the ship. When Cecelia's male companion is attacked and left in a coma, Lanyard determines to ferret out the intrigue even if it means postponing his revenge.
The adventures that follow take the Lone Wolf from shipwreck, to a secret German U-boat base on the American East Coast, to New York City, as he tries to fulfill a promise, extract revenge, or, perhaps, die in the attempt.
While this second book is not quite as exciting as the first, and although some of the plot line seems unlikely, it is fast-paced, suspenseful and entertaining. Along the lines of the old movie serials and cliff-hangers, stories of the Lone Wolf make for good, uncomplicated reading. I am very much looking forward to the third books in the series---Red Masquerade.
