Lawrence Rides Into Damascus And Ends the War:

100 years ago tomorrow, October 1, T. E. Lawrence, Colonel Lawrence, and General Allenby rode into Damascus, Syria to accept the surrender of the city after defeating the Turks in the Battle of Damascus. The Turks had surrendered and now were willing to sign the Armistice ending the Mesopotamian Theater in World War 1.

At 2PM Pacific Time on October 1 Cheops Books LLC will be commemorating this end of the war with a debate on our website: https://edwardwarethrillers.org. Go to the chat room set up under the book being published about the event on October 1 called Armistice Plot by Dora Benley. It will be available either on Amazon Kindle or Smashwords or in paperback on our website only.

Join the debate between an average American who thinks only of the present and Gary Cargill who has just authored a book about his ancestors during WW1. If you think World War 1 was not important, the debate may change your mind.

Lieutenant Edward Ware fights the Kaiser and Adolf Hitler in a century gone insane.

The novel Armistice Plot begins at an archaeological site at Carchemish in 1914 as Edward Ware’s father and Leonard Woolley close down their dig in the face of war. As Edward peers into the tent at midnight he sees a dark-robed intruder brushing past the figurine of an ancient Hittite king that he and T.E.Lawrence excavated at Carchemish this summer in 1914.

Is this a spy sent by the Germans to steal the maps Lawrence is sketching for the British military? Edward first encounters the vamp who will haunt the rest of his life prowling among the finds, looking for the military maps that his fellow archaeologist T. E.Lawrence is drawing for the British government.

All during the ensuing Great War Edward must fight to keep the maps secret. Finally during the Battle of Damascus Edward and Lawrence defeat the Turks and make them sue for peace. They will sign the Armistice ending the war. But the vamp, though imprisoned in Damascus, escapes. Edward must chase her down.

There are hints that she is fleeing to join with the Austrian corporal, Adolf Hitler, who is beginning a new movement in Munich. Signs of a new war appear on the horizon though the first has just come to an end with an Armistice that isn’t worth the paper it is written on.

This is an historical thriller about Edward’s contest to the death first with the German Kaiser and then with Hitler himself. It will determine the woman he will marry and the woman he will not. It will drive him to the brink of madness in a century gone insane.
