About this listen
In the Pacific the Royal Navy has turned the tide but the bloody battle for the Marianas rages unabated.
In Japan, confronted by the might of the global British Empire mobilising for total war, the Emperor and his military men begin to consider the unthinkable.
In New England – a great sleeping giant for so long – the West and the entirety of the North American continent is finally opening up as it factories and resources fuel the war effort.
In England the government wrestles with the question of how to subdue the Empire of Japan without destabilising the existing world order at the very time the march of technology is accelerating change in every sphere of life.
One prime minister if preoccupied with waging war; one of his predecessors is intent on making mischief and plotting his comeback.
And what of Kate Lincoln, newly widowed? She and her children are in England with Abe's two surviving brothers; her hopes set upon a new life far, far away from the maelstrom of war and the prejudice that had blighted her life in New England.
What of Melody dipping her toe in local colonial politics, and what of her husband, Paul, his career seemingly ended by the lies of a traitor?
And how will the injustice of Sam and Amelia Henry's potentially ruinous legal suit against predatory real estate developers in the Crown Colony of Virginia, resolve itself before the House of Lords in England in a test of the legality of 300-year-old racist statutes still influencing the lives of modern New Englanders, and potentially, peoples all around the Empire?
All the while, back in the Pacific the fleet gathers, growing by the day, bolstered by massive shipbuilding programs commenced at the outset of the Mexican War.
The Divine Wind is about to blow against the forces of the Empire upon which the Sun never sets; and when it does how will the British react?
As each side gathers its strength for what both know will be the final battle; who will strike first?
And finally, what secret can a tropical island relegated to the backwaters of the war hold> A secret that might one day turn the lives of more than one of our characters upside down?

Story
Golden Gate is the 12th book in the New England Series set in a universe in which George Washington died at the Battle of Long Island in 1776 and…the Revolutionary War was lost. It is Empire Day, Sunday 8th July 1979. And the Golden Gate Project, the iconic totem of the new imperial regime in Government House, Philadelphia, is under attack, an attack that for all its supposed technological battlefield mastery, nobody in the British Empire saw coming and the consequences might be incalculable. Things had seemed to be going so well! The Russian foothold in the Alaskan lands has been ...

Story
The 1976 Germania Olympiad, blighted by terrorism proved to be anything but the great propaganda triumph designed to accompany Reinhard Heydrich’s supposedly epoch-defining peace treaty with the United States. However, far from drawing a line under the crimes of the past, the Europa Reich is riven with generational and economic problems and never has the concept of a grandiose Roman-style Triumph to celebrate the disaster of the recent games and a token exculpation of the atrocities committed by the ‘Great’, wartime generation, been more divisive across a Reich attempting to re-write ...

Story
It is July 1976 and history hangs heavily over Germania - the Welthauptstadt – ‘World Capital’ of the Europa Reich with its great Olympic Park built over the top of and dwarfing the footprint of Adolf Hitler’s 1936 stadia. Thirty years into the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Third Reich, the Summer Olympiad is returning to the city after a gap of four decades. For the first time since the Second World War the first city of the Reich is being opened up to the world media. While most people look forward to a festival of sport, and the Nazi regime to an ...

Story
Manifest Destiny is Book 13 of the New England Series. George Washington was cut down by a canon ball fired from the gun of British frigate at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, his Continental Army was destroyed by William Howe’s Hessians, and the rebellion by the Congress of the thirteen colonies of new England was ruthlessly quashed in the winter of 1776-77. It is July 1980 and North America, the Canadian Lands and New England to their south, are jewels in the crown of the British Empire. Once before, over a hundred years ago, it had been the arsenal of the powers resisting the ...
