The article gives information about the book, "Harm's Way," by Roberts Tapley. The value of the novel lies in the ironic implications surrounding its episodes and in the personality of the author. Roberts Tapley has Written a first novel of unusual interest and distinctions . Richard Annesley, the hero of "Harm's Way," thinks of himself as a young man seated in a railroad train that is rushing head-on into an abyss. Throughout the course of the novel the analogy of the train is repeated again and again, unifying a series of events that carry the action of the story forward.
