Description: BLAKEOF THE "RATTLESNAKE"ORTHE MAN WHO SAVED ENGLAND A STORY OF TORPEDO WARFARE IN 189- by FRED T. JANEIllustrated by the Author Published in 1895 by Tower Publishing Company LtdFIRST EDITION Now scarce - I've seen only a handful of copies available for sale online. Blake of the "Rattlesnake", a naval science fiction novel, weaves intrigue, naval combat, and technology into a narrative about national survival. Blending speculative technology with military strategy, his depiction of warships with advanced capabilities foreshadows the real-world naval arms race of the early 20th-century. Fred T. Jane (1865-1916) was a British author, artist and naval enthusiast. With a profound interest in warships and military technology he was able to create highly accurate and detailed descriptions of naval battles and ship design. This influenced not only his novels but also his non-fiction work, and in 1898 he founded Jane's Fighting Ships (as All the World's Fighting Ships) - still the go-to reference for global naval information. The book will be well wrapped and boxed and sent by recorded delivery.
