S. Brereton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of World War I, specifically focusing on the military campaign in Mesopotamia as British forces advance towards Bagdad. The main characters introduced include Major Joseph Douglas, a seasoned officer with a secretive job, and Geoffrey Keith, a young and enthusiastic subaltern eager for active service. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to a frontier station where officers are preparing for a meal and discussing their duties. Major Douglas receives urgent orders that set him on a path to Mesopotamia, while we also meet Geoffrey Keith, who is excited by the prospect of joining the fight. As the narrative unfolds, we learn more about Douglas's protective role over Geoffrey, whose father was a fallen officer. The opening chapters highlight Douglas’s departure for a secret mission, establishing a tone of anticipation for the unfolding adventure in a war-torn region.
