Alexander was conceived during the Fifth World War and the World people were warring, which leads to a fight for survival. The reasons for the wars are never mentioned, but we can infer that the war was about wealth, control, and power. His birth and natural mother situation will reflect the dire and uncertainty of the times.
His mother dies immediately after birth, and he becomes a ward of Mary. In Mary’s care, he is given the name of the greatest known warrior of many past centuries, Alexander. Mary basically schools and trains Alexander in world affairs and warfare inspired by her dead husband, Colonel John’s aspirations. He is trained in the art of war, but also with an added twist of intellectual training. The child’s natural, innate, unusual mental abilities to learn, retain information, analytic ability—six, seven and eight senses—creates a one-of-a-kind warrior leader.
As Alexander grows, he is tested mentally and physically, and the results are extraordinary. His leadership abilities are a conglomeration of many great leaders of the past, and his warrior abilities also reflect the many great warriors of the past. These attributions are tested during the Examinations to enter the Roughful Military Institute. Thirty-one others and him survived the almost-impossible trials and challenges of the tests and lived.
At the school, under Alexander’s leadership, his class exceeds every standard the school tests. And after leaving the school, he is recruited to lead a secret special paramilitary unit, a secret weapon controlled and mandated by the World Congress and the World’s President. All impossible missions assigned the Operatives under the command of Alexander are completed successfully.
As a result, when the President of the World is threaten, Alexander is called to head the President’s personal security force. Under the watchful command of Alexander, all the President’s threats to his health are despond or eliminated.
Because of Alexander’s unique style of leadership and peaceful character, he is voted to replace the President of the World who desperately wants to retire. During his tenure as President of the World for two years, the world experiences a period of peace and enlightenment. Then out of the blue, the World is faced with enslavement and domination from an advanced human race a galaxy away. Again, Alexander’s leadership is tested, and he leads the World people to an almost-impossible victory. The World will enjoy a long peace.
After a total of ten years, Alexander retires as President of the World; he and his family go home. He and his family will enjoy the leisurely life of the country.
And now you don’t need to read the book. You’re welcome.
Aw right. Who was it criticized Nathan for using only the first paragraph of a blurb? You know who you are. This one is your fault.
On a lighter note, Alexander sounds like a perfect match for Empress Theresa.
Good grief. The book itself is written in the same style.
*wild applause*
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Slow Clap….
Funny name for a husband, “Colonel John’s aspirations”.
So the author gives us the whole plot in the blurb, varies tenses within sentences, tells about wars about which even he doesn’t know the cause, tells us lots of boring details, and probably wonders why no one buys his book.
Spoilers in the blurb!
Oh, darn – now there’s no reason to read it! Who said all spoilers were bad?
I stopped reading after the first sentence, which is patent nonsense and tells me that the rest of it won’t be any better.
Protip to authors everywhere: Read this stuff out loud. You will catch so many errors that way.
