The Riddle of the Sands (Dover Thrift S.) - Softcover
One of the first modern spy novels, this gripping tale also offers a vivid account of coastal sailing and navigation in the Baltic Sea during the era leading up to WWI. Written in 1903 by a Boer War veteran, it incorporates a wealth of technical sailing detail in its story of a sunny holiday that gradually darkens into a suspenseful adventure.

Review:
A thriller anticipating Frederick Forsyth and Len Deighton . . . never loses its pace. --Independent on Sunday
About the Author:
A former British imperialist who converted to the Irish nationalist cause, Erskine Childers (1870-1922) wrote about Irish politics and military matters. His life of conspiracy, gun-running, adventure, and rebellion concluded with his court-martial and death by firing squad.
