The Splintered Empires
Empires on the cusp of collapse, devastating successor wars, and the destruction of the Russian war machine, this is the engrossing finale to Prit Buttar's Eastern Front series.
Publishing for the centenary of the Bolshevik Revolution, The Splintered Empires looks at these climactic events, and the successor wars that raged long after the armistice of 1918.
Prit Buttar sets the scene for the conclusion of his series over on the blog, see more here.
The Sea Devil
In 1916, a three-masted windjammer bearing Norwegian colors sailed out of a quiet anchorage in Germany, loaded with cargo and apparently bound for Australia. Her true mission was quite different.
The ship was, in fact, the SMS Seeadler, commanded by swashbuckling German aristocrat Felix von Luckner. Over an epic voyage, he used cunning and deception to destroy 14 merchant ships, all the while evading the utterly foxed and infuriated British Admiralty in a daring game of cat and mouse.
The Sea Devil is a rip-roaring World War I story of espionage, counterespionage and piracy of the most gentlemanly kind.
