A group of ex-service officers, under the direction of a war-time head in the secret service, set out to investigate some suspicious circumstances that had been noted on a lonely part of the German coast. They unearthed a gigantic international conspiracy to destroy the British navy. How this was to be effected by unparalleled means, and how it was checkmated by the audacity and cleverness of Nicholls the English spy, becomes in the telling one of the most exciting tales of adventure written for many a long day. - Publisher blurb in The Meteren Road by Vernon Thomas.
