In 1916, a three-masted ship named Hero sailed under Norwegian colors out of the Elbe River in Germany. Loaded with cargo and ostensibly bound for Australia, she was in reality a German raider: the Seeadler, commanded by German aristocrat Count Felix von Luckner. She was tasked with destroying as many British merchant vessels as possible. Told from the viewpoint of the utterly out-foxed and infuriated British Admiralty trying to capture this mysterious raider, this book follows von Luckner's extraordinary exploits.
