"World War III had lasted from 2010 to 2013: at its most basic level Japan, Europe and the United States had fought Russia and China. After about nine years of 'phony' warfare in the Middle East--from 2001 to 2010--the United States had withdrawn when, in February of 2010, China had invaded Taiwan and WW III had begun."

HOPE'S WAR, pp. 44, 2002.

Hope's War is "a solid sequel" built around "a compelling dissection of good versus evil." (Publishers Weekly)

"Chambers offers a tantalizing look at a grim future history of Earth" (Library Journal)

"The setting is a planet colonized by followers of a mad genius who is the cloned avatar of the English visionary poet William Blake . . . [who] was treated badly by the corporation that brought him back to life as a promotional gimmick. So he became a homicidal megalomaniac who slaughtered billions while almost conquering the earth before being exiled to a distant planet to try again." (The New York Times)
