Second Chance King of The New World

Book excerpt: Dorset, to the immediate North of Averon, faces a problem, bankruptcy or become one of Justin Imperiale's Kingdoms. Justin is forced to fight a being from Zarel, a high gravity world. The challenge makes no sense, as the high gravity world mog can't get close enough to Justin to hurt him; unless the high gravity world mog uses paranormal skills. Justin then manages to set up a visit to an eastern nation called Shindhu. The visit is supposedly about trade and child labour. However, Justin seeks to steal a Lord Vorell scroll from Shindhu. He is then faced with two micro revolts in New World Kingdoms. The problem is off world interference almost certainly orchestrated by Arvion, demigod of the sky. The off worlders have set a trap that Justin avoids. Using ideas from the new Lord Vorell scroll, the mind of a would be assassin and a machine, intended to trap him, Justin builds a working interplanetary gate. He then has to fight a war in Mande. Justin fights a mind battle with a paranormal talent, almost certainly sent by Arvion. A maybe ghost, maybe God, visits Justin. The Nation of Dunvar is preparing to invade the Kingdoms of Bjornmark, Kjelmer and Nordveg. Justin manages to blackmail Dunvar politicians and delay the war. He then arranges for the assassination of the Leader of Dunvar and pushes the war further back. Finally Justin manages to elevate the President of Dunvar from figurehead to a position of power. University radicals invade Justin's Palace and are dealt with. He then prepares to set up a new Kingdom of Nordheim, in the North of the Old World.
