The recently created United States of Europe turns its attention to the New World, where the English have ceded their colonial claims to France. The time-displaced Americans know about the path that led to their own United States in North America. Modern democracy was born—but a bitter price was paid with chattel slavery and the near-extermination of the native populations.

Can a new course be taken? Can the smoldering sins of a future yet to be become the embers that fire a more perfect freedom in the present? If anybody can make it so, it will be the can-do folks from Grantville!

When Patricio Carrera’s family was murdered by Salafist terrorists, the assassins probably didn’t expect to create an implacable conqueror who would stop at nothing to wreak his revenge—but that is what they accomplished. Now, after decades of war and preparation for war in Carrera’s adopted homeland of Balboa, the last of the Tauran Union Expeditionary Force collapses. Amidst the chaos of war, a new leader arises. He is Hamilcar, Carrera’s young son. Hamilcar stands poised to obliterate the last enemy base on his planet. Revenge was always going to be his, but now Carrera may finally get what he least expected: renewal!
