The Kingdom of The Ancients Micheal J Franklin

The first book in The Kingdom of the Ancients saga."I am just following my orders, sir." "Very well, I suppose you are but consider this, not all orders are just, and not all leaders are trustworthy. As a good soldier, you must know when to follow orders, and when to follow the higher code of righteousness. You must make the choice sometime in your life to do the right thing, no matter what your orders are.""I think I understand what you are saying, but why are you saying it?" he replied as we approached Mr. Steuben's office. I stopped and looked at the soldier in a friendlier way. "There is a time coming when we all will have to make some hard choices. In that time, we cannot afford to be people who simply follow orders. When that time comes, we must be ready to be men of extraordinary character, who do the right thing at the right time, regardless of our orders."In a post-apocalyptic world. Not knowing who you are or where you're from is quite difficult. Finding out that you haven't been told the whole truth is even more difficult, and some revelations are just too incredible to believe. Mishka and Yuri unravel many startling secrets as they embark on a very unusual journey. Along the way, they find unlikely friends, enemies, love, trust, and betrayal; all while fighting an evil king who is plunging the kingdom into the darkness of a cruel dictatorship. During all of this turmoil, Mishka and Yuri discover a much bigger problem that threatens the safety of not only the Kingdom, but entire the world!
