Emperor of the East Slope — John Warner

Returning to Alberta, wounded in the First World War, Canadian immigrant Tom Edmunds finds himself jilted by the love of his life. His drive to succeed renewed, he founds a family business empire against the backdrop of early twentieth century Alberta. From the death and suffering on the battlefields of Europe in two wars, to family rivalry and bitter feuding with enemies, the eventual success of the members of the Edmonds family is steeped in the Province's history.
