| Summary | "The Chariot of the Sun" by Roger Pocock is a fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a speculative future set against a backdrop of political intrigue and personal sacrifice, as it explores themes of love and betrayal within the context of an empire on the brink of chaos. The narrative centers around characters such as Chancellor Lord Ulster and his son, Lord Sydney, whose lives intertwine with the fate of Queen Margaret as looming threats from rival nations exacerbate political tensions. The opening of the novel introduces us to a world in turmoil, with the Prologue setting the stage for the 'World-Storm' of 1980, a global crisis stemming from a man's love for a woman. As the story begins, Lord Ulster's dream of political triumph is shattered by cold realities as he confronts the manipulations of Emperor Nicholas IV of Russia. The atmosphere is dense with foreboding as characters grapple with their moral dilemmas, particularly Ulster, who is ensnared by his dark past with the traitorous Prince Ali. Meanwhile, Lord Sydney, who overhears damaging secrets about his father's political machinations, is determined to unveil the truth and save his love, Queen Margaret, from the dangerous political games unfolding around them. This sets up an intense narrative rich with dramatic tension and emotional stakes. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
