"A Time of Terror: The Story of a Great Revenge (A.D., 1910)" by Douglas Morey Ford is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the themes of justice, revenge, and social unrest in London, revolving primarily around the characters of Marcus White and his father, Michael White, who faces accusations of treason. As the story unfolds, it grapples with the complexities of law, societal injustice, and the conditions that lead to revolutionary fervor." "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a tense courtroom scene in which Michael White is on trial for allegedly attempting to incite a rebellion against the Crown. His son, Marcus White, watches in rage and despair as the legal machinations unfold and he grapples with feelings of personal and collective injustice, fueling his desire for revenge against those he holds responsible for his father's plight. The opening sets the stage for a brewing conflict that will intertwine personal vendetta with broader societal issues, laying essential groundwork for the turmoil and changes that London faces in the narrative ahead."
