The Two Georges

Our Rating: Coming Soon GoodReads Rating: 3.5/5

In a world where the American Revolution never happened, one painting symbolizes the peace that changed history – and its theft could shatter an empire.

Colonel Thomas Bushell of the Royal American Mounted Police faces his greatest challenge when “The Two Georges,” the revered Norman Rockwell painting that captures the moment George Washington and King George III forged their historic alliance, is stolen from its latest exhibition. As this treasured symbol of British-American unity disappears into the shadows, Bushell races against time through an unfamiliar America of steam-powered cars, rigid social hierarchies, and vast dominions still ruled by the British Crown.

From the fog-shrouded streets of New Liverpool (once Los Angeles) to the industrial heartland of the North American Union, Bushell’s investigation leads him into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Sons of Liberty – a terrorist group determined to tear apart the peace that has lasted for two centuries. With the painting’s recovery becoming increasingly vital to preventing a catastrophic uprising, Bushell must confront not only the conspirators but also his own understanding of loyalty, freedom, and empire.
