Sobre IBD

Considered one of the first modern spy novels, this tale of espionage and adventure is set against the backdrop of the North Sea’s treacherous waters. When two British yachtsmen stumble upon a secret German plot, they are drawn into a dangerous game of intrigue and pursuit. Childers, blending meticulous detail with suspense, crafts a narrative that is both a thrilling adventure and a prophetic warning of the rising tensions in Europe before World War I.
