About the book

Timeless stories of adventure and daring. Thrilling reads. Addictive page-turners. The original bestsellers, now classics in their own right. The most popular fiction down the ages brought back as limited edition collectibles in the Retro Revivals series.

What two amateur adventurers thought would be a leisurely sailing trip on the Baltic Sea turns into something unanticipated and sinister. There is suspicious activity on the German coast, where the voyagers-turned-spies begin to explore an unknown and mysterious site. But it seems as if there is a deeper secret hidden in the sandbanks and lowlands - one which can destroy the future of Great Britain.

A vivid account of Germany's preparations to invade England, released at a time when tensions between the two countries were building, The Riddle of the Sands captured the imagination of generations of readers with its nautical action and enthralling spycraft.

Published in 1903, this novel is regarded as the first modern spy thriller. It enjoyed immense popularity in the years before World War I and remains a must-read for espionage-lovers and sailing junkies. It has been made into both a film and a TV series.

Unputdownable . . . a classic British adventure story that influenced both John Buchan and Ken Follett.' -Observer
