Riddle of the Sands
Riddle of the Sands - Erskine Childers - a classic amongst sailing geeks everywhere, it is supposed to have been the first spy novel. Author was executed as a spy in 1922 following the Irish revolution .
Interestingly, there is a sequel called Shadow of the Sands by Sam Llewellyn, which in my view may be even better than the original.
In both books sailing and navigational skill play a major role in the plot. I would say both are must reads for your next summer cruise.
