Cross­roads of Empire begins where Wages of Empire end­ed — Octo­ber 1914. With young Evan Sin­clair hav­ing sur­vived Ger­man artillery & poi­son gas, he bare­ly sur­vives the sink­ing of a hos­pi­tal ship. Wak­ing up in Eng­land with no mem­o­ry of who he is, Evan strug­gles to regain his mem­o­ry. With his jour­ney woven into the sto­ry arcs of his­tor­i­cal fig­ures Chaim Weiz­mann, Achad Ha’am, Gertrude Bell, T.E. Lawrence & Prince Faisal, who all come to see that, though the main bat­tle­fields are in Europe, the true source of con­flict is emerg­ing in Ottoman Pales­tine since it’s from Jerusalem’s Tem­ple Mount where Kaiser Wil­helm II dreams to rule over Ara­bi­an oil reserves and the Suez Canal. The ear­ly Zion­ists Weiz­mann and Achad Ha’am are also keen­ly aware of the mor­tal dan­ger fac­ing the 5 mil­lion Jews of the Russ­ian Empire. Des­per­ate for a way to pro­vide them shel­ter, they strug­gle to devise a plan that might allow for their immi­gra­tion to Ottoman Pales­tine while cre­at­ing a pos­i­tive rela­tion­ship of coex­is­tence with the Arabs of Palestine.
