The Riddle of the Sands (Modern Library Classics) - Softcover
While on a sailing trip in the Baltic Sea, two young adventurers-turned-spies uncover a secret German plot to invade England. Written by Childers--who served in the Royal Navy during World War I--as a wake-up call to the British government to attend to its North Sea defenses, The Riddle of the Sands accomplished that task and has been considered a classic of espionage literature ever since, praised as much for its nautical action as for its suspenseful spycraft.

Review:
"This is a book of great renown. . . . Its beautifully sustained atmosphere . . . adds poetry, and . . . real mystery." --Ian Fleming
