FAQ:

01. Q: What is the Conqueror of the Sun series about?
      A: This is a synopsis for the series as a whole in book "back cover" format:

          The Conqueror of the Sun series a seven-book epic saga that has been 30 years in the making. The story is about a man named Shawn Arc and his desire for power and control beyond anything achieved in human history so far. The story takes place in an alternate timeline that starts in the 1990s and extends far, far into the future. Arc’s ultimate goal is to conquer the world into a single empire under his organization, the IRF or International Rebellion for Freedom. Shawn Arc is willing to do anything to achieve his goals, whether it be by deception, conspiracy, war, betrayal, or on the backs of millions of dead. At the same time, the story shows that Shawn Arc is also about love, romance, and intimate relationships. Can this man be both monster and human?
