In each adventure, Prince encounters various historical characters from the late 19th and early 20th Century, a forgotten era of much progress. It was a time when more mechanical inventions came about and more progress was made than any other period in history. However, it was also a time that was fraught with danger! Prince always finds himself in scrape after scrape, only to escape either through his own wits or with the help of those he can trust. Each story is told with a focus on action, pace and dialogue. This leads to a shorter tale, but each Edward Prince story is a satisfying, stand-alone adventure that can be read in only a couple hours while sitting on a plane, sitting in a line, sitting in a waiting room, sitting on a train or sitting on the... well, you get the idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitles in the \u003ci\u003e Edward Prince Adventure Series \u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/b\u003eThe Mystery of Coronado CayThe Bolshevik BallerinaThe Lost Idol of IshtarRoosevelt's River\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory vs. Fiction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso, stay until the end of the book to check out the \"History vs. Fiction\" section where C.K.
