Description
In the summer of 1914, 16-year-old Evan Sinclair leaves home to join the Great War for Civilization. Little does he know that, despite the war raging in Europe, the true source of conflict will emerge in Ottoman Palestine, since it's from Jerusalem where the German Kaiser dreams to rule as Holy Roman Emperor. Filled with such historical figures as Gertrude Bell, T.E. Lawrence, Winston Churchill, Faisal bin Hussein, Chaim Weizmann, and Achad Ha’am, “Wages of Empire” follows Evan through the killing fields of the Western Front where he will help turn the tide of a war that is just beginning, and become part of a story still being written.
Readers who enjoy Wages of Empire should know that the story continues with the sequel, Crossroads of Empire, the second book in this series.

Wages of Empire is a riveting journey through the chaos of World War I, following young Evan Sinclair as he leaves home to fight, only to find himself swept up in a global battle for power far beyond the trenches. The mix of real historical figures, political intrigue, and vivid battle scenes made this book feel like stepping straight into the past. I loved how the story blended action and history seamlessly, making the stakes feel real while keeping me completely invested in Evan’s journey. If you enjoy historical fiction with rich detail and a sense of adventure, this one’s a must-read!

Strap on your boots and grab your history books, because Wages of Empire is one wild ride through the Great War! Evan Sinclair thinks he’s heading into battle for king and country, but surprise—he’s actually smack in the middle of a high-stakes chess game featuring spies, world leaders, and one German Kaiser with major empire-building dreams. The action? Non-stop. The history? Juicy. And Evan? Let’s just say this kid sees way more than his fair share of war and political scheming. If you like historical fiction that punches you in the gut and makes you think, don’t walk—RUN to grab this book. 🏃♂️💨📖
