The World Needs a King Arthur Now More Than Ever…And W. A. Holdsworth's Novum Orbis Regium Does Just That

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich., May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- W. A. Holdsworth brings the story of King Arthur and Camelot into the modern world with a series of exciting fictional novels. His second installment is Novum Orbis Regium: The New World Realm (Adelaide Books, $23.20, ISBN-13: 978-1950437436).

476 CE. Badon Hill is under siege by the Saxon warlord Oesc of Kent. Arthur's cavalry holds the high ground. A heavy mist rolls into the valley during the night, blanketing the Saxon camp and giving Arthur his chance to end three generations of war. As the blood-red sun rises above the mist, Arthur and his horsemen plunge down the mountainside in hopes of finally turning their isle of woes into a Camelot to be dreamed of by generations to come.

Modern Day. For fifteen centuries, the Clan Camulodunum has kept Arthur's bloodline from ending in the hopes of one day bringing a new Camelot to the world. William "Mac" MacCrarey, Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations and Arthur's last living descendant, has called for a Charter Amendment Conference to begin transitioning the UN into a world-wide democratic government – a Novum Orbis Regium.

During his decades-long rise through the ranks of the United Nations, the ruthlessly ambitious Secretary-General Rene Boujeau has amassed a black-market fortune and used it bankroll dictators in key countries and build their armies to massive levels. Now he's ready to coalesce them into a single military force capable of bringing the world to its knees. Only America will be strong enough to stop him…if he doesn't undermine her democracy first. With the help of a U.S. Senator, a popular televangelist, and an event of biblical proportions, he devises a plan to place a puppet President in the White House and foment social and political bedlam. Entrusted to execute the plan is Boujeau's cold-blooded Under-Secretary-General Gerhardt Schoen, whose family's dark and secret past has haunted Arthur's descendants for centuries…as it will Mac and his young daughter Cameron.

A rollicking adventure sure to appeal to readers of James Rollins and Dan Brown, Novum Orbis Regium gives us a modern-day Arthur and the beginnings of a new Camelot. W. A. Holdsworth lives and writes in Michigan.
