What if, at the dawn of the American nation, Army officers plotted successfully to overthrow Congress and enthrone George Washington as King of the United States?Time has passed, and the year is 1925. Ravaged by more than a century of revolutions, the Union is falling apart. American King Augustine grovels at the feet of the British Empire, begging aid for his bankrupt kingdom. His war against the Republic of Louisiana is a resounding disaster. Repeatedly smashed by the enemy, the starved U.S. Army is fleeing the battlefield.An evil cult on the loose in the nation's capital of Philadelphia has thrown the city into a hysterical frenzy. Unfortunately for the royals, the cult's main gateway to Hell is hidden somewhere in the palace.The kingdom is desperate for a warrior saint to deliver it from evil. Americans look to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Johnny Washington-Bourbon as the perfect savior. He flies combat missions and heals with his touch. The people adore him. Sworn enemies put aside their differences to join his crusade.There's just one problem--twelve-year-old Johnny has far more courage than common sense, and his harebrained schemes to save America are disasters waiting to happen.
