    Drake's Drum Series

    About this series

    Horizon of Our Hopes is the fourth and final part in the Drake's Drum series of alternate histories and brings the story up to the 21st Century.

    Having survived the Hitlerian Wars, the United Kingdom must find a new path in a world shattered by conflict. How would it sail the unknown waters of a turbulent future? How would it live? How would it flourish?

     

    The nation had to re–invent itself, to resolve the questions of the past and become something new. That much was evident. But how was this to be done?

      British decline in the 20th Century is often seen as something fixed and inevitable. As the United Kingdom's financial strength ebbed, so did its power, prestige and influence in the world. Yet Britain was never a state in terminal decay. In relative decline, perhaps, but always a vital entity, one that embraced a process of re–invention; that proved ready to change and adapt its methods, its institutions and its structures. But what if that re-invention had been driven by a pragmatic realism that put the economic health of the British state at the heart of policy? Drake's Drum: The Peace of Amiens is the compulsively readable first part of a three book series that recount an immersive, thoroughly researched alternate timeline where British politics, Britain's wars and the history of the world in the 20th Century turn out very differently.

      By the spring of 1946, war raged again across the globe. Britain was drawn inexorably into the maw of the conflict, but her leaders knew that another war, where the country would once more have no choice but to use up its accumulated capital, would inevitably see it become the dependent of another power. But the fight did not progress as expected and nor did the fortunes of any of the belligerents. Drake's Drum: The Reckoning is the second part of a three book series that recounts an immersive, thoroughly researched alternate timeline where politics, conflict and the history of the 20th Century turn out very differently from what we know.

      On Sunday 25th April 1948, Boston, Massachusetts, became the first city in the world to suffer attack with an atomic weapon.   It is now universally acknowledged that although Commander Eric Brown of the Royal Navy was the first man to break the sound barrier, he was not the first human being to exceed the speed of sound in controlled flight.   The Dutch author Anne Frank, who won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for Literature, based her first novels on her experiences of life in Nazi occupied Holland. The acclaimed Drake's Drum series continues in this gripping third volume.
