Set amidst the 1812 Anglo-American war The Washington Adventure follows the story of legendary pompous idiot, William (Lord) Peel of Tornbridge, the inept financier who arrived on the east coast of America with a ship full of gold and slaves and hopes of clinching a lucrative land deal. With British forces stretched by the never-ending war with Napoleon, President Madison had chosen his moment to strike and needed gold for weapons and slaves to complete the country’s new capital, Washington. Unbeknown to William and Madison, however, Europe’s war with Bonaparte had suddenly ended and four thousand battle-hardened veterans - Wellington's Invincibles - had been dispatched across the Atlantic with orders to Raise Hell. By the time William arrived in Chesapeake Bay it wasn't the welcoming embrace of the President that greeted him but the British poised for invasion. Based around true events, The Washington Adventure follows a chain of catastrophes that sees William's slaves being taken by the British to fight the Americans and ends with him being blamed for the destruction of the White House as the new capital is obliterated in a single night. Taken from William Peel’s own journals and corroborated by the Tornbridge Museum, The Washington Adventure gives an unparalleled glimpse into one of the most extraordinary events in Anglo American history; not to mention finally opening up the bizarre and inane world of one of Europe’s most influential buffoons. The Washington Adventure is a Gold Medal winner on Harper Collins’ international book platform, Authonomy, ultimately reaching No.1 in their chart. At the time of reaching the coveted ‘Editor’s Desk’ it was the highest rated comedy on the site and amongst the highest rated books of all time. Harper Collins gave the following review. ‘William Peel is a brilliant character, an aristocratic buffoon - so wealthy he is beyond reproach, and lacking any self awareness, he makes for a superbly comic protagonist. This is a brilliant example of the historical comedy genre’ It was rated 4.5 / 5 by hundreds of Authonomy readers with reviews such as… ‘well written, funny and highly entertaining’, ‘brilliant’, ‘comic genius’, ‘hysterical fiction’, ‘absolutely hilarious’.

The Washington Adventure is a delight to read. Nearly every paragraph contains some witty comment by one of the characters. William, the main character, is the most fun of all. His outlook on what is at times, exceedingly graphic, but still very entertaining. There is nothing boring about this novel. I confess, I wanted to read more after William returns from his adventure and what happens next. This is especially true of his man Samuel, who travels with him, much to Williams annoyance. Some of Samuel's antics are outrageous but at the same time very amusing.Steven Michael Moore, the author of The Washington Adventure has produced something that I did not expect from the title. I am so glad I had the chance to read it. His style of writing is brilliant. I will be looking for other novels from this outstanding author.

The Washington Adventure Mr Stephen Michael Moore 9780993392603 Books Reviews
Good read entertaining of the war of 1812 keeps you reading without boring the reader. lots of humor.
A good short story - or even a series - painfully dragged out. Incompetence, ignorance and arrogance are funny for only so long
I finally deleted this book after about 28% because i'm not one to suffer fools gladly.
The "hero" of the story is nasty, stupid and a bore while being belittling to everyone he comes in contact with.
It manages to get two stars because, if this is your cup of tea, it's rather well written as far as editing goes.
Have fun if you're able.
