FYI from BATR

Ben Jeapes new book, The New World Order, is one of those rousing, entertaining science fiction romps that also manages to make some intriguing philosophical points along the way. Written primarily with older teens in mind, this alternate history merges the bloody history of 17th century England with a tale of alien invasion and a conflicted father-son relationship, giving readers an often sparkling mixture of masterful alien generals, Oliver Cromwell, Cavaliers, machine guns, floating airships, and multiple layers of religious warfare.
