Summary

When Ian Fleming published the first James Bond novel in 1953, he was not the first Englishman to write sensationalist spy fiction. During the First World War, William Le Queue (1864–1927) had transformed the German Kaiser into the very first Bond villain. And during the Second World War, Sydney Horler (1888–1954) created Tiger Standish, a character slightly similar to James Bond. 
This spy story, narrated by Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, was written by Sydney Horler during WWII, and features Tiger Standish. It was published in newspapers at the time.
