The New World Order

by Ben Jeapes (Author)

Synopsis

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-

Media Reviews
* The book has good ideas, a strong story and zeppelins. Nothing with zeppelins exploding in flames can possibly be all bad. In addition, Jeapes presents a convincing picture of what the Holekhor technology would do to the battlefields of the Civil War - what it would do and more importantly what it would fail to do. - www.writeaway.co.uk * Jeapes does a good job with his characterisation, building up the backstory of his dodgy general'slife, and the battle scenes are well-written. - SFX * Bit of a page turner...there's plenty in there for all ages to get their teeth into...the books dark moments are robust enough to send shivers down your spine. - www.sfcrowsnest.co.uk * Lots of surprises and plot twists in this excellent, really gripping story. - Primary Times (Hampshire)
