The Books

✦ ✦ ✦

After a chase across modern America in Book One, the AMERICA Series takes readers across five centuries and two continents from a global nuclear conflict to pre-colonial North America, Columbus’s 1492 expedition, the heights of the Aztec and Incan empires, and finally to the moment Europe came with purpose and knowledge to conquer and colonize the Americas. Through these journeys, the series confronts the moral burden of intervention — whether altering history prevents destruction or merely accelerates it. Deep research reveals ignored, forgotten and denied historical truths embedded in the fiction.

Across all five books, the AMERICA Series asks readers a question that grows harder with each book: If given the chance to alter history, should we?

After a surprising end to Book One, Clay Nelson and his companions journey south through pre-colonial North America, encountering the Susquehannock, Timucua and other tribes in a portrayal of indigenous life rarely given this depth or diversity.

After Columbus’s first landfall, Clay Nelson boards the Santa María and attempts to turn the tide of history. He warns Columbus he has reached the Garden of Eden, and that to claim it is to reenact the Fall. Martín Pinzón counters with sharp ambition and reasoning. What follows is a race between two visions of the New World — one rooted in faith, stewardship, and restraint; the other in conquest and wealth. Both parties race back to Europe, and in trying to prevent history, Clay may have inadvertently accelerated it.
