    Summary

    From Iron Dreams Press this Spring - A New, Complete Edition of Nat Rome's alternate history epic, A Wheel Inside A Wheel!

    In our world, three and a half centuries ago, two young men, Reinhard von Musel and Yang Wen-li, grew up to become Kaiser Reinhard von Lohengramm, the founder of the Neue Reich, and Fleet Admiral Yang, the greatest commander to have ever lived, and the last, great hope for the Free Planets Alliance.

    But in a different lifetime, at age sixteen, Yang Wen-li was forced to flee his father's debts and hide as an outcast in enemy territory, under an assumed false name: Hank von Leigh.

    And in a different world, at age ten, Reinhard von Musel and his family became political refugees-- running to the FPA to escape his sister's promised servitude to the Kaiser.

    Although Reinhard and Yang have traded places in history, neither of them can escape their destiny: to become the forces that shape the future of the galaxy.

    Nat Rome's sweeping saga, A Wheel Inside a Wheel, is a magnetic, operatic, and unforgettable journey through a world that might-have-been, realized with an unprecedented depth and clarity of vision.

    Summary

    Although the universe has been brought under Reinhard's heel, he lacks the one thing necessary for the continuation of his dynasty: an heir. As Reinhard grows weaker, the duty to produce one falls to his sister.

    When all it would take is one person's refusal to send the whole of the Neue Reich crumbling into a new civil war, the burden of choice weighs heavily on everyone.

    ------------

    “Is that the only choice you feel you have?”

    “The question of choice is a poor one. We all have responsibilities, and that sometimes means doing things willingly that we would not have chosen if we had been in different circumstances. Under those different circumstances, you might be asking my brother about marrying someone.”
