Fiction | Historical
Johan Thoms (pronounced Yo-han Tomes) was born in Argona, a
small town twenty-three miles south of Sarajevo, during the
hellish depths of winter 1894. Little did he know that his inability to reverse a car would
change the course of 20th Century History forever… Johan Thoms is poised for greatness. A promising student at
the University of Sarajevo, he is young, brilliant, and in
love with the beautiful Lorelei Ribeiro. He can outwit chess
masters, quote the Kama Sutra, and converse with dukes and
drunkards alike. But he cannot drive a car in reverse. And
as with so much in the life of Johan Thoms, this seemingly
insignificant detail will prove to be much more than it
appears. On the morning of June 28, 1914, Johan takes his
place as the chauffeur to Franz Ferdinand and the royal
entourage and, with one wrong turn, he forever alters the
course of history.
