Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conspirators: A Romance
England, rising heavily from her sea-washed chalk cliffs, looked out across the channel and glared at Luxembourg. Then the Atlantic cables began to grow hot with cipher codes - messages that culminated in a secret understanding - the proposed joint seizure of Samoa by England and the United States the moment a German soldier set foot on Luxembourg soil. Yet of this understanding the public had not the faintest suspicion.
That was the situation until the tension increased, when William the Sudden made a speech to his guard regiments, full of concentrated and consecrated mal ice, which startled a Foreign Office and a Department of State. The public, not understanding it, derided its author.
