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.
