Widely recognized as the first modern spy thriller, this 1902 lone masterpiece by World War I Royal Navy officer Erskine Childers was written as a wake-up call to the British government to attend to its North Sea defenses. It accomplished that task and has been considered a classic of espionage literature ever since. Praised for its nautical action and richly authentic background as much as for its suspenseful spycraft, The Riddle of the Sands is the brilliant forerunner to the realism of Graham Greene and John le Carré. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Secret service|vFiction. 650 0 Sailing|vFiction. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|xInvasions|vFiction. 651 0 Frisian Islands|vFiction. 655 7 Alternative histories (Fiction)|2gsafd 655 7 Adventure fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Sea stories.|2gsafd 700 1 Vance, Simon. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10026449?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781433267727_180.jpeg
