The New World Order




Aliens invade England during the Civil War in this story of what MIGHT have happened in the seventeenth century. Prepare to be astounded. History will never be the same again

The civil war that has torn England apart between King Charles I and Parliament is nearing its bloody concusion - and in the English countryside, a strager seeks his old love and finds there is a son whom he has never seen...
You would be excused, perhaps, for thinking that this the introduction to a thrilling historical novel. And you'd be dead right. Yet this is not the history you know, for the world has turned on to a new and deadly path.
With breathtaking imagination, Ben Jeapes has wrenched the familiar flow of English history out of its course and made it into something else, somethign entirely other. There is a thrid force, an entirely alien force - the Holekhor - who have martial powers of their own, religious leaders who command mysterious and strange forces, and who bring with them technology that should not have been seen in England for another three hundred years...
This is an extraordinary and thrilling novel, entirely original, and based in one of the most interesting periods of English history. Read about what MIGHT have happened in the seventeenth century - life could have been very different for us all. Prepare to be astounded. History will never be the same again.
