In this alternate future the English defeated the American colonist uprising in 1776. By the year 2276 the British Empire spans over half the planet. Their only opposition is the Chinese Communist Collective but for now there is a tentative peace.
As a teenager, Arthur Riddle, a distant relative of the queen, witnessed the bombing of London by unknown attackers which resulted in mass destruction and the death of his friend, Zachariah.
Ten years later, now a knight, he is sent to investigate his brother Morgan, the newly appointed Lord of New England. Morgan is suspected of massing troops to attack the Chinese, but not all is as it seems.
Back in London Arthur must weather attacks on his homeland, double-crossing, and political intrigue. He discovers deeper conspiracies that threaten the British Empire’s very existence.
"Excellent read" I'm an aquantaince of the author from our online gaming group. I heard of the book from the author and decided to order it and give it a read. I was very surprised at the level of professionalism for a book that is more or less self-published. The story moves at a relatively rapid pace without getting to mired down in descriptive phrases. One of the things that takes me out of reading certain fictional books is they are so descriptive and I want to just get into the nuts and bolts of the story. Mind you I'm not so much into stories of King Arthur or similar material yet the book was written well enough that it held my interest. This writer certainly has a style that is all his own and I'm quite certain if he continues to write we will continue to see better things so order this book now so you can say you followed this author from the beginning.
"A great read" This author really knows how to tell a story. With a mixture of historical fact and historical fiction set in a world very different from our own, this book pulls the audience into the futuristic world of Art, Jono and all of the others from beginning to end. The only question the reader is left with is "What happens next?" Great job Tom. I look forward to reading many more.
"Excellent Reading" The pace was very good and an excellent story line.This writer has a great future. Of course, I can't be objective,because I am his proud father.
