"Moonfleet" (1898) starts as a thriller and an adventure story, a story of smuggling set many of the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset. What could be the final results of the war among smugglers and sales guys? How can the hero, John Trenchard, find out the secret of Colonel John Mohune's treasure?
As the e book progresses those interwoven themes resolve themselves into a third and richer one, with the friendship and struggling of each John Trenchard and the craggy, taciturn Elzevir Block. Falkner's feeling for history and for the landscape of his Dorset placing combine along with his present for storytelling to turn Moonfleet into a historic romance of shifting depth.
