This book is different from any other book I have written. It is a mixture of historical fiction, science fiction, and fantasy. I am calling it a speculative fiction novel, a genre which has various definitions. Perhaps readers will see it has a story that is self-serving, self-glorifying even, given that my surname and the surname of the lead character is identical. It is about the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, King Harold II. He died in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, when William the Conqueror came across the strait from Normandy, defeated him, and became king of England, ‘by virtue of conquest’. Harold’s family took their family name from Harold’s father whose name was Godwin. Hence, Harold is referred to as Harold Godwin or Harold Godwinson. The Godwins in England were mostly hunted down and slaughtered, at least those who did not go into exile in Ireland and Europe. Over the centuries, the members of the Godwin family, and other Anglo-Saxons, scattered throughout the world in a diaspora of the Anglo-Saxon people. There is a myth, or perhaps it is real, that the Godwins, on the death of King Harold II, said, “Though it take a thousand years, an Anglo-Saxon would again sit on the throne of England.” The year 2066 will be a thousand years from 1066 when the Battle of Hastings took place and King Harold Godwin II died. The world does not know what the Anglo-Saxons are planning. This book tells the world that story. Is it real or just the musings of a group of people hoping to recover ancient glory?
