Wake of the Falcon
Wake of the Falcon is a 1914 naval thriller about an American captain hunting a German raider across seventeen thousand islands of the Dutch East Indies, using the new weapon of wireless intelligence to find it before a wrong move drags the United States into the war.
In 1914, a U.S. Navy captain aboard an obsolete cruiser must rescue a kidnapped American spy from a German raider hidden among seventeen thousand islands, armed only with a civilian mathematician, a network of amateur radio operators, and orders that forbid him from starting a war.
