About this book
News of Maraton's arrival sends Aaron Thurnbrein racing through London's poorer streets with hope for a new political leader. David Ross faces eviction while preparing a public speech, and Aaron's sister works in a crowded factory where heat and relentless demands shape the day. These scenes place the expectations surrounding Maraton beside the immediate costs of poverty. E. Phillips Oppenheim builds a novel around people who look to collective action for a better life.
Political influence brings pressures of its own. An agent named Beldeman demands major railway, coal and iron strikes, threatening Maraton's reputation if he refuses. His claims of power over the press turn a discussion of reform into a contest over who controls its direction.
