Rayas Colony Shakespeare

By Ginger Booth

Gabe's high school final exam is Shakespeare.
Not the plays - the man. For his whole life.

Gabe would rather haul rocks than read poetry. He braces to endure velvet tights and a few hours of archaic gibberish at the Globe Theater.

Instead, the Dream AI delivers him a boy: the noble Edward de Vere. The eight-year-old brat is imperious and fluent in Latin, yet hugged and loved by none. He is the future William Shakespeare, under a pen name.

Annoyance ripens to friendship while Gabe treads Edward's world. They cast the coronation horoscope for the young Queen Elizabeth. They party through Carnival in Venice, Gabe fast-forwarded into a grown man's body. Witch hunts and windmills, the vivid life behind the brilliant plays.

As Europe turns from medieval to modern, Gabe comes of age, a lifetime ahead of the teenager asleep in stasis.

The Shakespeare authorship mystery, played gloriously straight.
