Set against the backdrop of impending World War I, this tale explores themes of confused identity and royal intrigue, serving as an homage to Anthony Hope's "Prisoner of Zenda." However, Burroughs infuses the narrative with the tension and turmoil of his contemporary world, making it a stark contrast to Hope's whimsical approach. The author's engagement with real events deeply influences the story, highlighting the fantastical elements of the twentieth century while reflecting his personal concerns about the changing times.
