Tito’s/Europe’s Lost Children. The Complete Omnibus (Tito's/Europe's Lost Children)

Description

Yugoslav People’s Army brats Jovana and Hristijan grew up in a secluded border-watch compound, dreaming of grander horizons. They get their wish in the worst way possible when Predrag, a rogue Army captain, kidnaps Jovana for no apparent reason. Hristijan manages to rescue her, but their ordeals are far from over.

On the run, they uncover the shocking secret behind Jovana’s upbringing: she is the chosen successor to Maršal Josip Broz Tito. With Yugoslavia on the brink of collapse, it is her duty to keep order among the country’s quarrelsome nationalities—and stop the Serbs from grabbing power. There’s only one tiny problem: Jovana was never trained to take on her new role as the only hope for a unified Yugoslavia.

Joining forces with a hard-fighting mute girl, Jovana and Hristijan must make their way to Slovenia to prevent its secession from the Yugoslav Federation. To get there, they will have to outwit Predrag, who is determined to capture Jovana and win the approval of his Serb nationalist father.

The fate of Yugoslavia now rests with a band of snarky teenagers. Armed with nothing but a few guns and an old Army truck, they are about to make their mark on history.

Don’t miss out on this action-packed alternative history adventure that dares to answer the question: What if Maršal Tito, the strongman of Yugoslavia, had named a successor?

Eighteen years after the main events of Tito’s Lost Children:

Elena Marković always knew that she was different, raised in a secret compound, training in martial arts and world languages. One day she finds out why: she is the granddaughter of Maršal Josip Broz Tito, the former strongman of Yugoslavia, making her the next leader of a country that no longer exists. Elena’s parents entrust her with a mission to see that all of the former Yugoslavia’s nationalities live again together in brotherhood and unity—this time, as members of the European Union.

Wide-eyed and eager, Elena sets out for Brussels. She quickly finds that she is not prepared for life in the EU’s capital. But delaying her mission is not an option. With the help of two orphaned refugee brothers, Elena uncovers a diabolical conspiracy to unleash a wave of terror attacks in Europe in order to convince the United Kingdom to leave the EU.

With no one in the diplomatic community willing to believe them, Elena and her new friends are on their own. The fate of Brexi—and all of Europe—now depends on a scrappy band of college students from the Balkans. They must battle corrupt bureaucrats and bloodthirsty extremists if they are to save Europe’s future.

Will Elena’s good intentions be enough to keep the EU from breaking apart?
