Enter "An Imperialist Era" of extravagant wealth and romantic royal pageantry, where the world's imperial leaders stand at the pinnacle of their power, their political influence extending even into the secretive deliberations of a Vatican papal conclave. Beneath the veneer of pageantry, desperation is rising among their subjects. Peaceful protests fail to improve their day-to-day lives, so strident activists are encouraging a worker's revolution against these authoritarian regimes. A continent away, an immigrant American family faces the same hardships, struggling to afford life's necessities as labor unions strike for better pay and safer working conditions. Their confrontation with business owners' hubris results in a frightening tragedy. In the midst of this global maelstrom, the dashing British agent Richard Cordwell and the beautiful French spy Madame Duvernay are recruited by the King to navigate the courts and palaces of Europe to blunt the growing threat of world war and help lay the foundation for a fragile alliance while shadowy figures try to stop them. Their mission intersects with the young United States President, thrust into the high stakes of geopolitics as his nation takes its place among Old World powers while facing the shocking threat of invasion. Experience the next exciting volume of The Kopp Chronicles-an epic and sweeping saga of romance, political intrigue, and the triumph of the American dream.
