This classic novel from English author A. E. W. Mason combines a number of seemingly disparate plot lines into a seamless, thrilling action-adventure tale. Ranging from the backroom political dealings and high-society conflicts of Edwardian England to a pulse-pounding account of a dangerous expedition to Antarctica, this page-turner deserves a place on your must-read list.
