The Duke of D.C.: The American Dream, is completely a fictional read, to be more accurate, a political fictional short read. And very entertaining, kind of a parody in my opinion. This book is everything one has ever dream to happen to them, go back in time and change things to be in a better position in the future. So this book is about a man, Ray Almaviva, who is wrongfully accused of something by the FBI, something he didn’t do, while trying to escape he and a woman Ilsa Guilford-Schlitz go back in time to the year 1776; there they plan on changing the past to get ahead of this problem, I won’t spoil this for you but is truly a light read and very entertaining.… (plus d'informations)

Parody.
This book is a complete parody of government and people who call themselves "patriots". A couple time travels to 1776 where they find that a relative has been granted a duchy of all of DC, and since it was ratified pre-Constitution, the person is granted sovereignty over this area of Washington.
If you take the book as pure imagination and humor, it is fine, but otherwise, its political bent is nonsense. I just can't make fun or laugh at anything associated with the storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.… (plus d'informations)

The story makes you wonder: Can people change the world again? Can love happen even when things are crazy?

The story is about a guy named Ray Almaviva who gets in trouble with the FBI for something he didn't do. But then, something crazy happens, and he and a lady named Ilsa get sent back to the year 1776. There, they help Ray's ancestor, Don Raimondo, do something wild - they steal gold from the Spanish and give it to America to help them win a big war.

But, when Ray and his friends come back to our time, the FBI catches him! Good thing Ilsa and Don Raimondo have a plan. They show that Ray has old rights to a big piece of land where Washington D.C. is today. Now, Ray has a lot of power and friends who want to challenge the government.… (plus d'informations)

The Duke of D.C. by James Allen Moseley is a timely and imaginative read. The book dives into the heart of America's political grounds, painting a picture that is both fictional and eerily similar of our current time/state. Ray is our protagonist, who has a spirit that i found to be familiar, especially in the political figures we see in the news today.

I found the plot flowed nicely, weaving elements of time travel, comedy and revenge with some catchy dialogue that gave a very real feel to individual scenes.

In my opinion The Duke of D.C. felt like being on an emotional rollercoaster, which blended real-life political tension with fiction and plenty of humour. While it may not be for everyone, those of you who appreciate a mix of banter, political intrigue and thrills with a dash of the bizarre will enjoy it as much as i did, I'm sure of that. Recommended
