Hardback. Condition: Very Good. If Wallis Simpson had not died on the operating table in December 1936, Edward VI would not have been King of England three years later. He would have abdicated for the woman he loves, but now, the throne beckons.If Henry Bannister's car had not careered off the Colombo back-road in the summer before the war, Cynthia Kirkpatrick would never have found out about The Faction.It is autumn 1939, and everything in history is just as it was. Except, that is, for the identity of the man in Buckingham Palace and the existence of a secret organization operating at the highest levels of society and determined to derail the war effort against Nazi Germany.
