Englishman Edward Alton has arrived in Constantinople, capital of an Islamic Caliphate that unites 2.4 billion subjects in the most powerful nation on Earth. Raised in a remote provincial backwater, the experience could prove overwhelming. But there is a purpose behind Edward's visit.
Warning: This story is a rare serious excursion for me, away from humour into much more serious and darker territory.

Middle Era
Jesus and Muhammad adopted the Hebrew's belief in one God and Christianity and Islam spread throughout the world. The Chinese were using gunpowder in the 9th century and, by the 13th , cannon dominated the battlefields. Paper money appeared in China from 1216, as many financial transactions were too large for heavy bronze coins. The Anglo-Saxons built light, fast ships to stop the Vikings raiding Britain and, in 1546, Henry VIII established the "Navy Royal" which Elizabeth I used to defeat the Spanish armada. Before 1764 a worker needed 50,000 hours to spin 100 lb of cotton thread on a hand-powered wheel but only 300 hours with a spinning machine. Between 1770 and 1773, James Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle and mapped the coasts of New Zealand, Australia and the west coast of north America. By 100 BCE, Chinese were weaving complex silk brocade cloth. In 1804, J. M. Jacquard reinvented the Chinese loom, using a chain of cards to control which threads of weft or warp appeared on the cloth. This was the beginning of computers. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Complete

Golden Jasmine: The Ameer's concubine.
Islam spread around the Arabian peninsula and beyond. Many embraced the religion of Allah and the prophet as their messenger, uplifting the seen with their lives and honor. That was the golden age of Islam. Gradually, civilization came, and with new people added to the picture, new cultures and beliefs became rampant, weakening the hearts of the weak. Empires were ruled by royals and the Sharia law was executed by the Sultan. Stopping the masses from breaking the law was their duty but what happens when the executors become the lawbreakers?

And how many struggles will he have to face to attain his goals?
