| Summary | "A Soldier of the Legion" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins at a ball at Fort Ellsworth, where the young officer Max Doran waits eagerly for the arrival of Billie Brookton, a dazzling actress, with whom he has become romantically involved. The narrative hints at themes of love, ambition, and the complications of duty, set against a backdrop of military life and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is vibrant with excitement as Max anticipates Billie's entrance at the ball. The narrative introduces us to their budding romance, showcasing Billie as somewhat self-absorbed, while Max is depicted as earnest and devoted. However, their moment of joy is disrupted by the arrival of an urgent telegram, revealing that Max's mother has been injured in a motor accident. This shocking news sends him rushing to New York, marking the beginning of a tumultuous journey that intertwines personal sacrifice with revelations about identity and family, suggesting deeper crises and choices that will unfold as the story progresses.
