Description

First published in 1903, The Riddle of the Sands is set during the long, suspicious years leading up to the Second World War. Two men embark on a small boat in the Baltic, where they discover a plan for the invasion of England. Erskine Childers drew on his own experience as a sailor and added rich detail, beautiful prose, and well-crafted characters to create this classic sea adventure. This novel is considered the first modern spy thriller and the brilliant forerunner of the realism of Graham Greene and John LeCarre. A Cover to Cover Unabridged Classic.
