"Across the Cameroons: A Story of War and Adventure" by Captain Charles Gilson is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I and colonial Africa, the story revolves around young boys, Harry Urquhart and Jim Braid, as they navigate a world filled with danger, intrigue, and the looming threat of war. Their adventure is sparked by the discovery of the mysterious Sunstone, which is rumored to hold the key to a hidden treasure and sets their paths in pursuit of Captain von Hardenberg, a treacherous military attaché entwined in deceit and treachery. At the start of the narrative, two boys are introduced. Harry, a spirited Eton schoolboy, is visiting his uncle in a sprawling estate, where he maintains a close friendship with Jim, the son of the estate's head-gamekeeper. Unbeknownst to them, trouble is brewing with the arrival of Harry's cousin, Captain von Hardenberg, who has a rocky relationship with Jim and who is soon revealed to have ulterior motives connected to the enigmatic Sunstone possessed by Harry's uncle. As events unfold, they encounter myriad challenges, including deception, accusations of theft, and the ever-present threat of German forces, as Harry and Jim resolve to prove Jim’s innocence and reclaim the Sunstone before it falls into enemy hands. The opening chapters set the stage for a gripping blend of adventure, friendship, and the struggle against treachery amidst the chaos of war.
