Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book
Nations worldwide are in upheaval and at one another’s throat. The world’s economies are on the verge of collapse. Heinous crime, drug abuse, and immoral perversion are the accepted norms of society. Global terrorism abounds. The Holy Land is undergoing unprecedented stress and turmoil as the State of Israel strives to protect its very existence.
In mankind’s darkest hour, God’s plan of the ages approaches its consummation. The world travails under the birth-pangs of the approach of a new age. But whose “New Age” will emerge triumphant? Will it be the “New World Order” of the Man of Sin, the Beast, called Antichrist? Or, will “the desire of all nations”- Yeshua, the Messiah, the Alpha and the Omega - finally return, deliver His people from their enemies and set up His Millennial Kingdom – a thousand years of paradise on Earth.
Reviews
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">Powerful and fantastic action-thriller. Kevin D. Morris weaves non-stop action with apocalyptic events to produce a "can't put it down 'til I'm finished this chapter" page-turner. If you liked the "Left Behind" series or Frank Peretti's "This Present Darkness", you'll thoroughly enjoy "Alpha & Omega -The Beginning...". Easily one of the best new ficton novels of the year. - <em>NewReleaseTuesday.com</em></span></p>
