World Maker
INSPIRED BY A MAD VISION
Inspired by a mad vision of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, a centuries-old time war is being fought to determine the destiny of the human race. Czarina Catherine Romanova joins forces with her younger self, the Princess Von Anhalt, as well as World Maker Paganini to face an implacable foe, the most brilliant mind to ever reinvent the future: Master Edison Godfellow, inventor and magician supreme (aka Da Vinci).
Influenced by Nietzsche, Godfellow desires to replace the human species with a New Humanity of his own creation, and extend his dominion to the stars with the help of his elite magi-tech strike force, the Dio Soldati, as well as a cadre of handpicked magical minions.
Unknown to Godfellow though, one of his allies, the ancient Mongol Prince Temujin Gur, has his own plans for violating a forbidden magical boundary and raising Ghengis Khan from the ashes. If the World Makers fail to defeat him, all of Europe will perish and history will be rewritten in the darkest way imaginable.
And if the World Makers fail to create a new time stream in the 20th century by rerouting or stopping the two world wars, the dominoes will fall to Godfellow in the 21st. With the aid of his elite forces and an American military drone fleet augmented by dark sorcery, he will sweep the Earth and realize his tragic vision of New Humanity poised to invade the stars.

About the author
Warwick Gleeson
3 books134 followersI've lived in both LA and NYC and worked many different jobs, everything from roofer to waiter to small business owner. No screenplays optioned yet, but lots of poetry and short fiction published. I am unavoidably a big fan of great SFF television writing, like the kind you find in Emerald City, Gotham, The Expanse, and Umbrella Academy. I now live in Tucson, AZ, with a fat lazy cat and a most wonderful wife who is also a writer.
