The Emperor of North America - (Young Chesterton) by John McNichol (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU...

It's been over a year since Gilbert Keith Chesterton and his friends defeated the Martian tripod invasion in the first book of the Young Chesterton Series (Tripods Attack!). Since then, he has a new faith, a new job, and a new love- a beautiful heiress named Frances. Life couldn't be better.

But then things begin to go very wrong. Gilbert's best friend Herb becomes wealthy and evasive. A mysterious redheaded woman from their past adventures resurfaces, with trouble following close behind her. Gilbert has to flee to America, where a powerful man calling himself The Emperor of North America has taken unexplained interest in Gilbert's future.

Worst of all, Gilbert learns that America may be no safer than England. For it is in America that both he and Herb will confront their most dangerous foes yet.

Themselves.

Review Quotes

"I've been a fan since day one. John's stories are clean, wholesome adventures I can read with the kids, but which bring up challenging topics and all kinds of literary fun. Suspenseful, action-packed, playful . . . these are some of my favorite rainy-day reading by far."

"A joy to read! The action in this book starts off at warp speed and amps up the warps as each chapter progresses. Hail to the Emperor of North America!"
