Cyrus Brady’s The Grip of Honor is a rattling melodrama for boys set in the American Revolution. It blends fiction and essay like a pioneering form, with a heroic escape scene and a forged order rescue aboard the Serapis and Bon Homme Richard.

It contrasts with Verne imitators and calls the work oddly captivating yet flawed.
