|---|
"Mike Stearns and his band of Americans transported back to 17th century Germany are back, this time fighting against sinister Cardinal Richelieu of France and his alliance of England and Spain. President Mike must deal with many domestic issues as well as fight along side Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, for the survival of his people.
While Mike is governing the new United States, his wife Rebecca must try to convince the nobility of Europe to ally with them to avoid complete destruction.
Armed to the teeth with advanced weaponry, but outnumbered ten to one, the Americans and their German allies are in for the fight of their lives."
