The Marshals
The New United States is about to join the United States of Europe, becoming the State of Thuringia and Franconia. The Thirty Years' War is still being waged. Armies cross and re-cross the German states. With war comes lawlessness, and with lawlessness comes the need for law and order.
Who can fill this enforcement niche better than three retired old soldiers, known to down-timers as the Die Drei Alten Soldaten. Archie Mitchell, Harley Thomas, Max Huffman, retired US Army Master Sergeants who, with their apprentice, Dieter Issler, use their up-time experience as Deputy Sheriffs, to become the first Marshals of the newly created District Court system of the SoTF.
The Marshals are little known until Thomas Bloem and his sister, Maria D'Angelo, brother and sister journalists, arrive to interview them. They record the formation of the Marshal's Service and the three Marshals, from their first case as Marion County Deputy Sheriffs, until they leave Grantville to provide law and order throughout the State of Thuringia and Franconia.

About the author
Mike Watson
4 books5 followersI've been an avid reader since I was in elementary school. Our school had a small library and I was allowed to check out books starting in the third grade. My mother was the school's Principal and she insisted that I read a book every two weeks. By the end of the year, I'd read everything in that small school library. My eighth birthday gift was a library card.
I've always written fiction but didn't have an opportunity to devote time to it until just a few years ago. I had twenty years experience writing technical documents, but, I soon discovered that writing fiction is vastly different from writing nonfiction.
The Beacon at Barrington Light was my first indie release. All my previous sales had been through traditional channels. My novel, Emigre, was released on April 10, 2020. on Amazon.
Subsequent to Émigré, I'll be releasing a collection of short stories with a novella,Dundee Orbital, based in the same Tri Cluster Confederacy universe. It was released on July 31, 2020.
My current WIP is The Prodigals, a sequel to Emigre. It should be released in 1Q2021.
