Description
In the summer of 1914, sixteen-year-old Evan Sinclair yearns to escape the constraints of living with his father and leaves home to join the Great War for Civilization. As he makes his way through France and the killing fields of the Western Front, he comes to realize that, despite the war raging in Europe, the true source of conflict will emerge in Ottoman Palestine, since it's from Jerusalem where the German Kaiser dreams to rule as Holy Roman Emperor with dominion over the Suez Canal, Arabian oil reserves, and with an eye to promote German-Nordic racial supremacy throughout the world.
Filled with real people from the pages of history such as Gertrude Bell, TE Lawrence, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Winston Churchill, Faisal bin Hussein, Chaim Weizmann, and Achad Ha'am, as well as fictional characters, Wages of Empire follows Evan as he embarks on a journey where he will help turn the tide of a war that is just beginning, and become part of a story still being written.
