The Man Without a Memory

"The Man Without a Memory" by Arthur W. Marchmont is a novel written in the early 20th century. This gripping story revolves around a protagonist, Jack Lancaster, who becomes entangled in espionage during World War I after surviving a sinking ship.

At the start of the narrative, Jack recounts his thrilling and harrowing experience as a pilot in the war, leading up to his near-fatal accident which brings him into conflict with the German authorities. After surviving an explosion on the ship "Burgen", he finds himself mistaken for Lassen in a hospital in Rotterdam. As he plans to search for Nessa, who is reported missing in Germany, he cleverly crafts a plot to impersonate Lassen.
