This book as a work of fiction is weak, and not good in any sense. If I were to rate it as fiction 1 star would be generous.

The author himself admitted that he released it without refining it because he felt that he had more pressing needs in politics.

"In regard to Philip Dru, I want to say that there are some things in it I wrote hastily and in which I do not concur, but most of it I stand upon as being both my ethical and political faith."- Edward House, 1916.
