Can a book about George Washington traveling through 250 years of American history—with a colonial-era flux capacitor—be more true than a history book filled with "facts"?

Yes.

Austin Washington is the author of The Education of George Washington, the 4.5-star "best book ever written about the father of our country"—real history that made readers "laugh out loud while learning an important lesson."

But you ain't seen nothin' yet.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the country that Austin's ancestor helped found, Austin had to top "the best book".

So he made a better one:

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HIS FLUX CAPACITOR

George Washington encounters a colonial-era flux capacitor—the FC-'76—which ricochets him through American history like a pinball. He meets Elvis and Houdini and Tesla. He pans for gold, rides the transcontinental railway, and more.

The facts are true.

The fiction is fantastic.

The book is magic.

Then—just when you thought it was safe to go back in the colonial era water—the final five chapters are a fully fictional novella that ups the ante exponentially:

George Washington leads a league of Founders—Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Samuel Adams, and Alexander Hamilton—who combine forces to battle the arch enemies of modern day America for the soul of the country On–yes, you guessed it–January 6th.

January 6th: The Reckoning

Revenge fantasy par excellence.
