-Horsfall's novel reads with breathless ease. . . . This is fiction at its heart warming best.- -Anote Ajeluorou, The Guardian, Lagos, Nigeria Could it be that global events have aligned to fit a particular purpose . . . for such a time as this? Chad. Born into a life of privilege, with an unquenchable thirst for adventure, and stirred by a passion to honor his king and defend his people from Hitler, a young Englishman embarks on a mission that could prove to be more than he ever imagined. When he loses his memory and finds love, will his desires destroy his mission . . . or fulfill it? Kanyam. Along the creeks of the Niger Delta, oppressed by superstitions, discrimination, and colonial tyranny, a beautiful African girl seeks hope and a sense of purpose. Influence of a King spans the globe during a time of harrowing worldwide events-the Great Depression, the droughts of America's Dust Bowl years, World War II and post-war developments-and captures the essence of faith, fate, and the power of choices.
