The shocking death of the popular Prince of Wales launches his young heir from innocent childhood into a roiling caldron of political jealousy and intrigue. Set in all the glory of mid-eighteenth century England, the child prince is urgently prepared for his estranged grandfather’s throne. Under the wing of his godly tutor-advisor, the youth staggers through an escalating minefield of hazards.
Juxtaposed with the prince’s story, is the life of a down-and-out firebrand statesman considering retirement from public service, including the House of Commons because he’s under the king’s fervent disfavor. As rumors of coup d’etat swirl around the prince, an alliance between the youth and the flagging Member of Parliament (MP) secures hope of a safe ascension. The alliance also catapults the prince’s gentle advisor and the seasoned statesman MP into the two most powerful men in Great Britain. One controls the next king. The other controls Parliament. Then, in the face of escalating war, a shocking twist changes everything.
Collision Course shatters clichés as it treks through England’s finest gardens and dines with kings and statesmen, all the while peering into the universal nature of the human soul and the heartbeat of corrupted constitutional government. This is the true, untold story of alliance, ambition, betrayal, loss, and recovery that set the world stage for the American Revolution.

Book Excerpt

                              Leicester House, London, March 20, 1751   

 Death came on a quick pale horse for Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales. The night was robed in silent mists as it leapt over the scrolled-iron gates. Evading the courtyard torchlight, it scoffed at the House Guard in its velvet finery and sheathed swords. It swept through the heavy, carved, rococo doors, galloped past darkened staterooms, and whirled up the curved staircase to the royal apartment. A lord of the bedchamber snored on a cot just outside the sickroom door.

Inside, the prince lay awake in a cold sweat from pain in his chest. Alarmed at the intruder, he tried to argue. He was in his prime—only forty-four, experienced in business, politically powerful, and due to take the throne with his father elderly. He thrashed and moaned as his plans and dreams swirled around him like eddies of turbulent waters: clean up the rampant election corruption, unite Englishmen, and refranchise the Catholic Tories. He was destined to be “the Patriot King,” a righteous father to all the people—not just the exclusive twenty families ruling England. Surely, God needed him here. He wiped his wet brow with his right forearm and shivered. 

 The intelligentsia, statesmen, and writers paraded through his mind.
