From Across the Waters By Richard Neil LaBute Jr. Spanning a dramatic range of time, geography, and characters, From Across the Waters—a prequel novel to The Search—follows an ambitious American from boyhood to the highest offices of the U.S. Navy; a young Japanese woman who, through her faith, becomes much more than just a royal bride; and numerous conspirators and underlings on both sides of the Pacific. From Across the Waters is historical fiction at its finest, blending fact and fiction to transport the reader back to our own past, in all its complexity and beauty.

Legacies Are Forever

Book Three

By: Richard Neil LaBute Jr.

Legacies Are Forever By: Richard Neil LaBute Jr. The conclusion to author Richard Neil LaBute Jr.’s exciting trilogy, following The Search and From Across the Waters, takes us to Japan, where young liberal heirs to centuries-old fiefdoms unite to bring about the end to the Tokugawa Shogunate. The two-hundred-fifty-year reign of Tokugawa military rule is over. The Restoration has brought the Meiji Emperor out of the secluded confines of Kyoto and back to the center of government and power in old Yedo, now Tokyo. The Sonno Joi, revere the Emperor, expel the barbarians movement has succeeded, yet failed. The Shogun is gone, but the hated bakufu, Tokugawa-era government bureaucrats, remain. Japan as a nation quickly sheds its medieval past, rapidly emulates, then seizes a place at the table of modern nations, much to the dismay and expense of its neighbors—north, south, west, and ultimately the United States and its possessions to the east. In Europe, Prussia, with the help of Bavaria, cements together a Germanic nation, as France tends to its colonies on many continents. The three-hundred-year-old Romanov Russian Empire teeters on the brink of disaster and revolution. Equally decrepit empires of the Ottoman Turks, Austro-Hungarians, and Ching Dynasty of China also near their end. The riddance of imperial overlords, national identity, and the power of the proletariat are themes du jour, of the day.
