註釋Left Behind architect LaHaye and coauthor Dinallo tell a short, unexceptionable tale, the first in a planned trilogy set during World War I. Two Scots immigrants, Dylan Cooper and Grace MacVicar, meet in Boston in 1916. Dylan is a photographer trying to establish his work as art. Grace works at a studio and is able to help him. After a few difficulties, Dylan shows pay dirt, and he and Grace marry. They buy a house by the sea and practice "tender and considerate lovemaking." Exciting! Still, the two don't live happily ever after, at least not in this installment. The doughboys are pouring into France, and Dylan, who, unaccountably, is fiercely patriotic, wants to help. The novel gives short shrift to his training and takes him straight into the hazardous work of aerial photography. Meanwhile, there are unhappy developments in Boston, and when Dylan returns, it's to the cliffhanger that sets up part 2. It's hard to imagine fiction blander than this, but, of course, the LaHaye brand name makes it news.
