Early in the Twentieth Century... Two Englishmen, both working at the Foreign Office, set out on a yachting holiday in the Baltic Sea. They are almost killed in a freak boating accident, and slowly find themselves drawn closer to danger and the plans that are being prepared for the coming of a truly terrible conflict. Among the coastal sands, a secret unfolds which has enormous repercussions for Britain and for the whole world... This cautionary tale of the United Kingdom's military unpreparedness for war is a classic espionage thriller.
