About This Book
A sensational espionage narrative warns that a covert network of foreign agents is stealing military and naval secrets to prepare an invasion. Episodes describe the theft of dockyard plans, submarine and aeroplane developments, improved battleship and artillery designs, sabotage of coastal defenses, wireless interception, and efforts to foment domestic unrest; investigations and undercover surveillance gradually expose the spy rings. The text combines technical description and tense set-pieces with polemical argument, urging legal reform, greater vigilance, and strengthened defenses to meet a clandestine threat to the capital and nation.
