The Russian foothold in the Alaskan lands has been vanquished, the war with the Triple Alliance is over, almost history; and ‘the West’, specifically the vast former Californian lands of the old Spanish empire of New Granada is a freshly annexed colony of New England. For the first time a native-born Viceroy is to be enthroned as the Governor of the Commonwealth, the war with the Mexicans is over and the conquest of North America from coast to gleaming coast is, after two centuries, complete.
Already the ‘no expense spared’, harum-scarum rush to colonise the West Coast Golden Gate province is under way.
But, of course, at the very moment the British Empire is on the cusp of its finest moment, an ungrateful world is intent on spoiling its party!
But little of this is obvious to Melody Danson and her new family as they begin a new life in Manhattan, or to Kate and Abe Lincoln looking forward to journeying west to a land of new hope and opportunity as the aftermath of the latest battles in the Pacific play out. Thousands of miles away, the dust from Operation Prestige has not, and is unlikely to settle any time soon and the law of unintended consequences has just, taken another unlikely twist!
In the Pacific the opposing navies have exchanged hammer blows but the strategic calculus remains unaltered; the Royal Navy remains outnumbered and on the defensive, faced now by an enemy slowly learning some of the lessons it learned at terrible cost in the Gulf of Spain a year ago. In the Central Pacific there is there an uneasy stand-off, elsewhere European hegemony in the Far East is everywhere in retreat while in the Old Country the government lurches from one crisis to another, its disarray a metaphor for the tensions that many fear will one day erode the Empire from within.
In New England it is the lull before the storm. The East Coast primacy of the First Thirteen, already diminished by the burgeoning powerhouse industry and commerce of the territories of the interior now filling the lands all the way to the Mississippi and beyond, unconstructed by the jurisprudence and the restraints to their trade and development that is so closely guarded by the Legislative Councils of the ‘old colonies’, is about to be rocked by the race to colonise the coast to the west of the Rockies and the Sierra Madre.
Nobody better understands the existential crisis that is slowly brewing in New England as its new Governor, former cavalryman and Texan rancher, George Nathaniel Washington but even he can not foresee the half of the surprises the future has in store for the vast, febrile commonwealth he now rules…

Historia
Manifest Destiny is Book 13 of the New England Series. George Washington was cut down by a canon ball fired from the gun of British frigate at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, his Continental Army was destroyed by William Howe’s Hessians, and the rebellion by the Congress of the thirteen colonies of new England was ruthlessly quashed in the winter of 1776-77. It is July 1980 and North America, the Canadian Lands and New England to their south, are jewels in the crown of the British Empire. Once before, over a hundred years ago, it had been the arsenal of the powers resisting the ...

Historia
The Divine Wind is the fifteenth book in the New England Series set in an alternative timeline in which George Washington’s Continental Army was wiped out at the Battle of Long Island in 1776, the American Revolution failed and New England in the latter half of the 20th Century is still part of the British Empire.... In the Pacific the Royal Navy has turned the tide but the bloody battle for the Marianas rages unabated. In Japan, confronted by the might of the global British Empire mobilising for total war, the Emperor and his military men begin to consider the unthinkable. In New England...

Historia
The Free World War III - The Sealed Globe continues the story of a struggle to end the ceaseless and crippling arms races between opposing ideologies, and of a war to finally liberate humanity from the madness of perpetual conflict. As with the first two books in the series, our own tragic history is depicted from the viewpoint of a peaceful utopia that uses simulations generated with the aid of the limitless computing power and artificial intelligence of the future. Conversely, the main storyline in which General George S. Patton survived his car accident, continues to describe the events ...

Historia
The Gathering Place is the 10th book in the New England Series set in a universe in which George Washington died at the Battle of Long Island in 1776 and…the Revolutionary War was lost. Now, two hundred years later the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, the Commonwealth of New England, for so long dominated by the historic First Thirteen colonies is finally about to span the whole North American continent. The trouble is that although the War with the Triple Alliance has been won even as the guns on the Rio Grande fell silent, the Empire was confronted by an even greater ...

Golden Gate is the 12th book in the New England Series set in a universe in which George Washington died at the Battle of Long Island in 1776 and…the Revolutionary War was lost. It is Empire Day, Sunday 8th July 1979. And the Golden Gate Project, the iconic totem of the new imperial regime in Government House, Philadelphia, is under attack, an attack that for all its supposed technological battlefield mastery, nobody in the British Empire saw coming and the consequences might be incalculable. Things had seemed to be going so well! The Russian foothold in the Alaskan lands has been ...
