Set in a speculative 1934, The Great Prince Shan follows British nobleman Nigel Kingley and his niece as they uncover a covert alliance among global powers. With Prince Shan of China as the pivotal figure, the narrative delves into themes of diplomacy, betrayal, and the looming threat of global conflict. Oppenheim's novel is a gripping tale of international espionage and political maneuvering.
Mr. Oppenheim never fails to entertain us. --Boston Transcript.
The author has acquired an admirable technique of the sort demanded by the novel of intrigue and mystery. --The Dial, Chicago.
Mr. Oppenheim is a past master of the art of constructing ingenious plots and weaving them around attractive characters. --London Morning Post.
By all odds the most successful among the writers of that class of fiction which, for want of a better term, may be called 'mystery stories.' --Ainslee's Magazine.
Readers of Mr. Oppenheim's novels may always count on a story of absorbing interest, turning on a complicated plot, worked out with dexterous craftsmanship. --Literary Digest
We do not stop to inquire into the measure of his art, any more than we inquire into that of Alexandre Dumas, we only realize that here is a benefactor of tired men and women seeking relaxation. --The Independent, New York.
