My forte is Alternate History. The following is a review by Herbl, copied from Amazon’s website. It pertains to a previous book of mine in the genre, The Strange Life of Walenty Karnowski.'This novel contains so much insight into life in the 19th century part of Poland that was dominated by Prussian rule. ...There are no slow sections in this book. Be prepared to read nonstop because there is no convenient place to stop. There is much detail throughout as the author weaves the disparate lives and the feelings of the various characters together. The prayers in this novel are an excellent way the author leads the reader into the inner thoughts of the characters. This is a book I will treasure and recommend. It should be a hardcover for a keepsake item.' BLURBOn Easter Sunday, 1586 Polish king Casimir V led combined Christian armies thru Constantinople’s Cannon Gate, wresting the city from 133 years of Moslem persecution. It took seven years, and is described in the book, The Re-conquest of Constantinople, available on Smashwords and Draft2Digital. Casimir deposed the 1400-pound voluptuary Sultan Murad III and sent him into exile in the Canary Islands. Loyalists in the Ottoman Empire are still fomenting rebellion, especially a certain Yusuf Pasha. They want to re-gain power and subject all non-Moslems to Allah. Witness the battle in which Casimir finally puts down the rebellion. Be present at the glorious liturgy in which Hagia Sophia is re-consecrated, and at the planning sessions after his victory, in which How to Govern the City is hammered out. Will Islam be outlawed? Will Moslems become the new Dhimmi or will equality be established among the city’s disparate citizen groups - traditionally Greeks, Turks, Armenians, and now also Poles, Spaniards, French and Germans? Will Casimir make himself the new Byzantine emperor - Constantine XII? Will Jan Zamoyski - his childhood friend - or prince Władysław, his son, - play a part in the government? Will a democracy, with elections, be set up? Will there be clashes over restoring mosques back into churches? Will Catholic and Orthodox re-unite? Where does Pope Sixtus V fit into all this? What effects do these events have on the countries of Europe? Download a read to find answers to all these questions.
