"Out of Russia" by Crittenden Marriott is a thrilling novel written in the early 20th century. The plot centers around Professor Shishkin, a renowned physicist and former member of a revolutionary brotherhood, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous mission when a mysterious visitor from Russia seeks his expertise for a covert operation. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, political intrigue, and the pursuit of freedom against a backdrop of personal sacrifice and historical conflict. At the start of the story, Professor Shishkin is at his laboratory in New Jersey, reflecting on his life away from Russia and the Brotherhood he abandoned years ago. This peace is shattered by the arrival of Maxime Gorloff, who reminds him of his past commitments to the Brotherhood and presents a call to action involving a sunken ship carrying a fortune in gold meant for the Russian government. Meanwhile, the reader is introduced to Marie Fitzhugh, a young woman tied to the events surrounding this gold, who is also on a quest of her own. The stakes become even higher when her motivations come into question, and the shadow of murder looms over the narrative, setting the stage for a rich tapestry of deception and intrigue.
