Collision Course
The shocking death of the popular Prince of Wales launches his young heir from innocent childhood into a roiling caldron of political jealousy and intrigue. Set in all the glory of mid-eighteenth century England, the child prince is urgently prepared for his estranged grandfather's throne. Under the wing of his godly tutor-advisor, the youth staggers through an escalating minefield of hazards. Juxtaposed with the prince's story, is the life of a down-and-out firebrand statesman considering retirement from public service, including the House of Commons because he's under the king's fervent disfavor. As rumors of coup d'etat swirl around the prince, an alliance between the youth and the flagging Member of Parliament (MP) secures hope of a safe ascension. The alliance also catapults the prince's gentle advisor and the seasoned statesman MP into the two most powerful men in Great Britain. One controls the next king. The other controls Parliament. Then, in the face of escalating war, a shocking twist changes everything. Collision Course shatters clichés as it treks through England's finest gardens and dines with kings and statesmen, all the while peering into the universal nature of the human soul and the heartbeat of corrupted constitutional government. This is the true, untold story of alliance, ambition, betrayal, loss, and recovery that set the world stage for the American Revolution.
