"The Kings of the East: A Romance of the Near Future" by Sydney C. Grier is a tale of high stakes and shifting loyalties in a world gripped by competing nationalist dreams. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century geopolitical tensions and the simmering desire for a Jewish state, the story follows key players drawn into a web of political conspiracy, cultural clashes, and colonial ambitions. We're pulled into the narrative as holiday-goers enjoy the scenery, but behind closed doors, a group of influential figures, spearheaded by Israel Goldberg, conspire to colonize Palestine, requiring a strong leader to guide their efforts. Their hopes rest on Count Mortimer, a former Prime Minister of Thracia, whose past secrets and leadership abilities will be tested as he navigates the treacherous path towards realizing this controversial dream.
