Signed by the Author. Octavo, blue & cream boards (hardcover), silver letters, xi + 357 pp + ads. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: It's January 1889. German and American naval forces are engaged in an escalating confrontation in Samoa in the South Pacific. Warshiops are at battle stations. Naval reinforcements from both nations are on the way. The press in Berlin, Hamburg, Washington, and San Francisco is calling for national honor to be defended. At any minute, open warfare may erupt. All it will take is one spark. President Grover Cleveland orders Commander Peter Wake, Office of Naval Intelligence, to clandestinely accomplish one of two things: either somehow prevent all-out war between Germany and America, or win it decisively at the outset to prevent combat from spreading worldwide. Coming up with an admittedly makeshift plan along the way, Wake enlists the help of an unlikely trio he encounters in the Pacific: a Hawaiian artillery officer, a renegade Methodist minister, and a beautiful shyster. Unfortunately for Wake, each of them has his or her own motives for heading to Samoa. The intrigue is as deadly as the action in this novel, which culminates in one of the most significant events in Pacific -- and American -- naval history.
