The Moorish Trilogy, Part One is the fictitious tale of Othello’s journeys and adventures before he was fatally impaled by the quill of Shakespeare.
Captain Belgae Hawkins, spawn of Vikings, is a tormented soul, secretly battling with his past, warring in his sleep, and spitting at his demons. In his waking reality, his ragtag army dangles on the cusp of a wave of invasion by Othello’s legions of ruthless warriors, man-eating predators, and an elephant brigade.
Each time Hawkins mounts a resistance, his men are overrun, retreating further and further west from Egypt, via Alexandria, Libya, Tripoli, Carthage, and then across the channel to Granada in Spain.
Battling storms, floods, and plagues, the warring factors form new relationships, new allies, and new enemies. Life, love, loss, loyalty, friendship, and betrayal flourish.
When Will loses his wife Emma Lynn to the plague, Hawkins joins Will on a psychological journey through a long cycle of depressive episodes, until he reaches acceptance. Narrated from Hawkins’ point-of-view, the reader never knows what will happen next in this high-speed, epic roller coaster adventure.
Othello has fascinated generation after generation throughout the world for more than 400 years. In this age of sequel and prequel, Othello’s journeys and adventures are limited only by the boundaries of the sliver of his existence on Shakespeare’s stage. Enter The Moorish Trilogy.
