Only the completely original and unalloyed Jeapesian imagination could think of launching a full-scale alien invasion right into the middle of the English Civil War. Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army, as well as a young King Charles II, face the full might of the powerful Holekhors as alien airships fly in the skies over seventeenth century London. This is an extraordinary and thrilling novel, entirely original, and based in one of the most interesting periods of English history. Read about what MIGHT have happened in the seventeenth century - life could have been very different for us all-
'A spectacular firecracker mix of science fiction, parallel worlds, "what-ifs" and English history. Cromwell, Cavaliers and machine-guns! John Whitbourn, author of The Royal Changeling England, May 1645 The civil war that has torn England apart between King Charles I and Parliament is nearing its bloody conclusion - and in the English countryside, a stranger seeks his old love and finds there is a son whom he has never seen ... You would be excused, perhaps, for thinking that this is the introduction to a thrilling historical novel. And you'd be dead right. Yet this is not the history you know, for the world has turned on to a new and deadly path. With breathtaking imagination, Ben Jeapes has wrenched the familiar flow of English history out of its course and made it into something else, something entirely other. There is a third force, an entirely alien force - the Holekhor - who have martial powers of their own, religious leaders who command mysterious and strange forces, and who bring with them technology that should not have been seen in England for another three hundred years ... Prepare to be astounded. History will never be the same again.
