Laredo, Texas – March 1915

The Mexican Revolution is reaching a boiling point, and the minority Anglo population of Texas is concerned that it will extend north of the Rio Grande, and into South Texas, itself.

Thomas Asher is an aging Texas Ranger, tired, infirm, unprepared for retirement, and addicted to laudanum. But the Rangers have made a ghastly mistake, and Asher now finds himself being put to the test at every possible turn, in every possible way: contenting with those he loves, those he respects, and, most difficult of all, himself.

About The Series

---

Hymns of Kingdom is a series of twelve novels that span the 20th Century, from 1895 to 2005. They will explore the boundaries of the spiritual life. The word “Hymn” Refers to the lives we live to the glory of God, and the word “Kingdom” refers to the spiritual domain of our lives. The novels are historically accurate, and redemptive.

The Circle of the Earth is the third novel in a sequence of twelve novels called Hymns of Kingdom. It is the first one completed and published. The twelve novels, while conceptually linked, each stand alone as a separate and independent story, and do not depend on context from the other novels. The next novel to be published, which is the first in the series, will be called The Laughter of the Fool, and it will be released in October. Following that will be The Joints of the Harness, which will be released in April of 2020. Each of the novels is short and concise: twelve chapters of twelve pages each. When all twelve novels have been published in 2024, then I will combine them together in one massive epic called Hymns of Kingdom, for release in 2025.
