The Silent Barrier is an adventure romance by Louis Tracy, a British journalist turned popular novelist who produced a steady stream of lively, readable fiction in the Edwardian period. This novel is set against an Alpine backdrop and combines romantic intrigue with the kind of brisk, danger-filled plotting that Tracy’s readers expected. His fiction is cheerfully unpretentious and aimed squarely at entertainment.
Now freely available in the public domain, it offers a pleasant example of Edwardian popular romance. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg for the complete text.
