Synopsis

"Historically fascinating and well researched . . ." -D. R. Bailey, bestselling author of Dawn of Hope

"A lively dramatization of a unique naval drama that still stands on its own merits." -Jon Guttman, research director, History.Net, award winning historian and author of Defiance at Sea

In late June 1914, two gunshots in Sarajevo have changed the course of history. Archduke Franz Ferdinand is dead, and World War I begins. Across the world, the German dreadnought SMS Emden is sent to the Far East to disrupt Allied shipping.

The Emden is outnumbered sixty to one, but the men on board will do their duty. What follows is a three-month cat-and-mouse chase with the Royal Navy. Under the leadership of "gentleman pirate" Captain Karl Friedrich Max von Müller, the elusive "White Swan of the East" manages to sink sixteen civilian Allied vessels without a single loss of life on either side before meeting her demise.

Solidly grounded in history, One Rogue Raider imagines the thoughts and dreams and deeds of Emden's crew, her pursuers, and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill himself, bringing to life what was perhaps the last instance of a conflict at sea where tonnage sunk and body counts did not trump human decency and honor.
