The Dundee Advertiser says:--"Mr. Hocking has produced a work which his
readers of all classes will appreciate.... There are exhibited some of
the most beautiful aspects of disposition."
LOUIS TRACY
A FATAL LEGACY.
The Scotsman says:--"In all the annals of fiction a more ingenious or
startlingly original plot has not been recorded."
RAINBOW ISLAND.
The Literary World says:--"Those who delight in tales of adventure
should hail 'Rainbow Island' with joyous shouts of welcome. Rarely have
we met with more satisfying fare of this description than in its pages."
THE ALBERT GATE AFFAIR.
The Birmingham Post says:--"An excellent detective tale, brimful of
adventure. Told in Mr. Tracy's best style."
THE PILLAR OF LIGHT.
The Evening Standard says:--"So admirable, so living, so breathlessly
exciting a book. The magnificent realism of the lighthouse and its
perils, the intense conviction of the author, that brings the very
scene he pictures before the reader's eyes with hardly a line of
detached description, the interest of the terrible dilemma of the cut
off inhabitants of the 'Pillar' are worthy of praise from the most
jaded reader."
HEART'S DELIGHT.
The Dundee Advertiser says:--"The name of Louis Tracy on the covers of
a volume is a sufficient guarantee that the contents are worthy of
perusal. His latest novel, 'Heart's Delight,' establishes more firmly
than ever the reputation which he founded on 'The Final War'; like that
notable book it has a strong martial flavour."
A. C. GUNTER
'TWIXT SWORD AND GLOVE.
The Manchester Evening News says:--"It is with the utmost suspense that
the reader will follow the adventurous and perilous career of Comte
Bertram de Conflans.... A cleverly written book."
DOCTOR BURTON.
The Tribune:--"A series of exciting escapades and amateur detective
work, eminently compelling and full of interest."
MARION BOWERS
THE WRESTLERS.
The Nottingham Guardian says:--"A skilfully presented study of the
subtle moods of a woman's heart. The picture of Muriel Attledon's
subjection to a husband who slights and neglects her while he flirts
with another woman, and covers his disloyalty with a specious cloak of
solicitude, is finely sketched."
