The Firing Line by Robert W. Chambers is a romance novel set against the backdrop of high society in New York and the subtropical setting of Florida. The story follows the complex relationships between its main characters-particularly the wealthy heroine, Sylvia Landis, and the men who pursue her. Blending themes of love, jealousy, and social expectations, Chambers explores the emotional and societal pressures faced by individuals in their pursuit of happiness. While primarily known for his earlier weird fiction, this novel reflects Chambers’ later shift toward writing more mainstream romances.
