Novels
American Empire
Following the
Great War, the
United States and
German Empire are the dominant world powers. The United States has
occupied Canada (less the Republic of
Quebec, a U.S.
puppet state) and
Sequoyah (
Oklahoma), has annexed
Kentucky and portions of
Texas,
Arkansas,
Sonora and
Virginia, and has placed the rebellious state of
Utah under military occupation. Having led the U.S. to victory,
Theodore Roosevelt now faces a challenge to his third-term bid by the
Socialist candidate
Upton Sinclair, and struggles to maintain order in the occupied territories as rebels and terrorists strike.
Meanwhile, in a defeated Confederacy wracked by
inflation and despair, a former Confederate Army sergeant named
Jake Featherston and his
Freedom Party are preaching a message of hate, blaming the southern
aristocracy and the "
niggers who
stabbed us in the back" for the Confederacy's defeat.
The European situations mirrors North America: the aging Kaiser
Wilhelm II and his victorious Germans fight to hold onto captured
Belgium,
Alsace-Lorraine, and the
Ukraine, and their
vassal state of
Poland. The
Roman Catholic monarchists of
Action Française wish to topple the Third Republic and enthrone Charles XI, while
Mosley's Silver Shirts are a growing power in the British
Parliament.
As the 1920s draw to a close the world economy crashes and the
Great Depression begins, paving the way for fanatics and demagogues the world over to seize power.
Timeline-191
It is followed by the
Settling Accounts tetralogy, of which the first book
Return Engagement was published in August 2004.
