The Kingdom Of America

The Kingdom of America
by E. B. Alston

Imagine a time in the future when the United States of America is sundered and there are now two countries where the one we love so dear used to be. The original United States is much reduced. The remainder of the country and a large part of Canada and vassal countries overseas are components of a kingdom ruled by a succession of kings whose lineage goes back to roots in North Carolina. The new country is called America. It is a society divided into aristocrats, commoners and a labor class who are assigned their status on the basis of intelligence tests. The country is militant and maintains a huge standing army, always poised and ready to deliver retribution with an iron fist to anyone anywhere who threatens, injures or kills an American citizen. In 2084, in Baltimore, twenty-six year old King Henry meets a young woman who is destined for greatness. The story of their courtship and marriage brings romance and pageantry amid a background of international intrigue and war. This novel explores the personal lives of the Royal family as they bring pageantry and glamour to the American heartland and the aristocrats who are wholehearted participants in this mighty drama.

The Kingdom of America is set between the years 2020 and 2098. In this time frame one family - the Clark’s- through perseverance, sheer force of their personality, and a political program that suited the masses achieved political power. They adopted the ancient Roman emperor’s autocratic manner and became more and more aristocratic. Because their political programs were successful, (the crime rate was reduced, unemployment was non-existent, the education system was unrivalled, the economy flourished) the rank and file populace continued to support the Clark family. They in turn become addicted to power, institutionalize a monarchial system and designate a king. The kingdom is powerful and eventually takes over most of present day United States, Mexico, a large part of Canada and several overseas countries.

E.B. Alston is a master at “what would happen if.” What would happen if one man with a forceful personality got elected as governor on a crime reduction platform? What would happen if his crime reduction methods were so successful he applied them to education? What would happen if he became so popular he could appoint anyone he wanted to any level of government? What if he had absolute control over the news media? What if every male person in his jurisdiction had to serve in the military? What would happen if he became so powerful he could ignore the wishes of other countries? Most important, what if he was highly successful with all the above and at the same time the populace was supportive and the economic condition sound? How far could one man go?
