Dorset, to the immediate North of Averon, faces a problem, bankruptcy or become one of Justin Imperiale's Kingdoms.
Justin is then forced to fight a being from Zarel, a high gravity world. The challenge makes no sense, as the high gravity world mog cant get close enough to Justin to hurt Justin. Unless the high gravity world mog uses paranormal skills.
Justin then manages to set up a visit to an eastern nation called Shindhu. The visit is supposedly about trade and child labor. However, Justin seeks to steal a Lord Vorell scroll from Shindhu.
Justin is then faced with two micro revolts in New World Kingdoms. The problem is off world interference almost certainly orchestrated by Arvion, demi-god of the sky. The off worlders have set a trap that Justin avoids.
Using ideas from the new Lord Vorell scroll, the mind of a would be assassin and a machine, intended to trap Justin, Justin builds a working interplanetary gate.
Justin then has to fight a war in Mande.
Justin fights a mind battle with a paranormal talent, almost certainly sent by Arvion.
A maybe ghost, maybe God, visits Justin.

University radicals invade Justin's Palace and are dealt with.

King of The New World (Second Chance) Reviews
-
This is the first book that I've read in this series and I definitely felt a little like I'd just jumped into the middle of the story. However, the author does a very good job of writing the book so that you're able to catch on pretty quickly.
The main character is a bit of an enigma. While the plot is from his point of view, I didn't see a lot of emotion behind his actions. He's very calculated and rational. Which makes him a bit mysterious at the same time. I'm intrigued to learn more about his motives and where his drive comes from. -
Justin is back!
He faces revolutions in the New World and perhaps a world war in the Old World.
