On a hot June day in 1904, the Russo-Japanese War is raging in
Korea and Rear Admiral Peter Wake, forty-year veteran of naval
espionage, ship combat, and guerilla wars, is in his White House
office as special assistant to President Theodore Roosevelt. The
Perdicaris Hostage Crisis in Morocco has diverted Wake from his
critical main project: obtaining Imperial Germany's 1903 revised
invasion plans against the United States. After defusing the
hostage mess, Wake and his unique team head for Hamburg and St.
Petersburg in grand style on a diplomatic mission. But that's
merely a facade for the false-flag operation to get those German
plans. Even as Wake hobnobs with Kaiser Wilhelm II and Czar
Nicholas II, he reconnects with contacts in the sordid world of
intelligence. In a perilous evening in St. Petersburg, Wake is
trapped by the dreaded Russian Okhrana into joining the Russian
fleet as a neutral observer on their 18,000-mile voyage around the
world to engage the vastly superior Japanese fleet--a certain death
sentence. Wake's subsequent trek around Europe, Africa, and Asia
leads him into the clutches of the Japanese Black Dragon Society;
the cataclysmic Battle of Tsushima, which changed world history;
the chaotic Trans-Siberian Railway and Potemkin Mutiny in the 1905
Russian Revolution; the Portsmouth Naval Station peace talks; the
1906 Nobel Peace Prize in Norway--and many different codes of
honor.
