Overview

"The Riddle of the Sands: A Record of Secret Service is a patriotic British 1903 novel by Erskine Childers. It is a novel that ""owes a lot to the wonderful adventure novels of writers like Rider Haggard, that were a staple of Victorian Britain""; perhaps more significantly, it was a spy novel that ""established a formula that included a mass of verifiable detail, which gave authenticity to the story - the same ploy that would be used so well by John Buchan, Ian Fleming, John le Carré and many others."" Ken Follett called it ""the first modern thriller."""
