Follow the adventures of Naval Lieutenant Otto Prohaska in the waning years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Once again Biggins uses his sharp wit and meticulous research to reveal the humanity behind the history. On the ground the rickety Habsburg Empire crumbles before the onslaught of WWI, while in the air Otto confronts the winds of change heralding the 20th...
