Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent.

Story Behind The Book
This book was the result of combining the aspects of typical Satanic crime with the highly controversial underground 1900 shopping mall beneath Leavenworth, KS. The protagonist, Enos Hobson, is flawed with PTSD, the career stopping result of it, and a bitter divorce as the result of both. The author's career in military intelligence greatly influenced the portrayal on the protagonist's skills. Making a dog a character in his book was especially fun to do.
