The Riddle of the Sands | Erskine Childers

Pickpick

Set before World War I, 2 sailors, Davies and Carruthers, are set against the secret forces of Germany. They uncover a plot which threatens personal as well as national security. UK has since developed a naval base at Rosyth. Davies suspects the Germans are doing something sinister in the German Frisian islands. This is said to be the first spy novel and was published in 1903. The information about yachting was a bit too detailed. Recommended
