Emergence

In Volume One, LEGACY, we witnessed the death of the Ottoman Empire. The Western Powers, who thought they'd have an easy time dismembering the corpse, somehow never reckoned with the courage and resilience of the Turkish people - or that a leader as great as Kemal Atatürk would grab the Motherland by the scruff of the neck and yank it forward five centuries in the span of fifteen years. The fourth major protagonist in this epic, Nadji Akdemir, scion of generations of military pride, enters the tale when Turkey is at its nadir, and afterward joins Turhan Türko?lu and Halide Orhan at Turkey's rebirth and EMERGENCE as the Motherland builds from within. Meanwhile, as the world descends into a nascent holocaust like none other in history, Abbas Hükümdar hitches his yoke to the rising star that is Hitler's Thousand-Year Reich. Hugo N. Gerstl orchestrates the second movement of this symphony of the human spirit, leaving readers hungering for the finale which is bound to follow.
