Blake of the "Rattlesnake" is a thrilling naval adventure set in an alternate history where Britain faces war against both France and Russia. Packed with daring battles, espionage, and high-seas heroics, this novel imagines a world where one man’s bravery might save a nation.

Frederick Thomas Jane, who later went on to publish his famous "Jane's Fighting Ships", doubtless was noting the success of other books that forecast a British defeat in the event of war in the late 19th century when he wrote this fictional account of "The Man Who Saved England." Jane tells of a possible war against both France and Russia with plenty of verve and derring-do amid naval battles, both small and large.
