Rogue Raider is a humorous fictionalized history set in Southeast Asia during the First World War, which centers on a lovable rogue in the form of Captain Julius Lauterbach of the German Imperial Navy and the ship that catapulted the "Flashmanesque" Lauterbach to accidental fame (and infamy), His Imperial Majesty's Emden. Follow the adventures of Lauterbach, a beer-guzzling, cigar- smoking filcher, a braggart and, above all, a survivor.
