Royal Continuum

An alternative history novel. It starts from a well-known historical event. Near the end of the War of Independence, a group of Colonels requested that George Washington make himself King of the new nation. Washington considered and declined, maybe his greatest gift to the American experiment. But what if he had accepted this offer? That is the premise and story behind To Challenge the Present. The novel is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the response of the Colonists to the heavy tax burden imposed on them by the Crown. This story is fascinating for its unique take on the historical characters that we think we know so well. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and especially Thomas Jefferson, are shown in a new light and it is sometimes eerie and a little unsettling but very good reading.

It shows the political differences between the Northern and Southern colonies. Added also gives us a glimpse of what the people and politicians in England were thinking, which is something you haven't seen much in the history books you've read.In this book, readers will learn about the making of the Empire of Mexico, and watch King George Washington hand over power to his step-son. Meanwhile, France suffers from many internal crises and, when she goes to war, she demands much support, but who will be her ally? Read on to discover how alliances get formed and how Mexico and New England have to forge a powerful alliance to oust the invading French Forces

Here is fictional adventure that makes the reader feel like they are reading history, with some oddly familiar names and characters that readers would love to hang out with. A compelling cast of characters, and some, like General Antonio de Santa Anna and Ulysses Grant, are well-developed and interesting. There is a lot that readers will love in this novel, including the narrative voice that is mellow and unique. The author confidently “tells” rather than “shows” much of the story, yet it still remains very engaging. The plot is beautifully thought out and the execution is excellently accomplished. The novel is well-structured to make for an enjoyable read, with short chapters that are quick to finish, well placed paragraph breaks, and dialogues punctuating some of the memorable passages. Readers will be immersed in powerful and exacting political intrigue as they watch compelling characters in conflict, and witness the rise and fall of great nations.

To Challenge the Present, it is the story of King George Washington and his descendants. He is aided by the figures we know in history, but these figures are different. Jefferson, Franklin, Francis Marion, Henry Knox, Sally Hemmings and the King of England, all combine to see the revolution in a new light. The descendants have to fight off a Communist type country of France and New France.

The second part is to Honor the Past. Here we see The ultra strong country of Mexico, the richest on the North American Continent. They work with the King of New England to fight off aggressors and further conflict. George Patton, Dave Eisenhower, Frank Roosevelt all have a part along with the Emperor of Mexico.

Part three, Hope for the Future involves cooperation, again, with the forces of Mexico to fight off a warlord in South East Asia. He uses a dedicated commando and his Intelligence officer to sink ships and attempt assassinations. Several Characters return from book one.
