The Pawns Count

A thrilling story from the beloved British novelist who hoped to convince the US to join them against Germany in the WW1 trenches. There are lots of surprising tidbits of modern foreign policies, including a side-swipe at British enforcement of maritime law and a rather shocking foreshadowing of the Japanese attitude toward the US just a quarter century before Pearl Harbor was to happen.

The spy portions are all edge-of-year-seat and the audio (from LibriVox) was easy to listen to. I definitely enjoyed this one.
