Sinopsis

Winner of theá2024 CIBA HemingwayáFirst Place Prize for 20th Century Wartime Historical Fiction2024 SF Writers Conference Writing Contest Finalist-Adult Fiction'. . . both a gripping page turner and a series of carefully observed character studies. Beautifully written in a voice and in details that capture the era,áCrossroads of Empireáis a must-read for readers of all ages' -Chanticleer Book ReviewsThe story of Evan Sinclair that began ináWages of Empireácontinues ináCrossroads of Empire. Having survived German artillery, poison gas, and friendly fire in helping to turn the tide of the war in its first months, Evan barely survives his hospital shipâÇÖs sinking by a German U-boat. Left with amnesia, he no longer remembers who he is.Likewise, Evan doesnâÇÖt recall that, despite the European war, the true source of conflict is in Ottoman Palestine, since itâÇÖs from JerusalemâÇÖs Temple Mount that Kaiser Wilhelm II dreams to rule as Holy Roman Emperor over Arabian oil reserves and the Suez Canal.The Middle East Front soon explodes with pitched battles at Suez and Gallipoli as EvanâÇÖs story is interwoven with those of historical figures Gertrude Bell, T. E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, Faisal bin Hussein, and Chaim Weizmann.During his quest to recover his memory Evan will discover far more: love for his father, grief for his late mother, and hidden secrets of his bloodline-an unbroken lineage that stretches back to the Crusades and will determine his future role in the Great War.á
