FAIR OAKS, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Instead of Columbus discovering America, what if an inhabitant of the Western Hemisphere - "Chief Submuloc" (Columbus backward) - discovered Europe? And what if these explorers were Caribbean cannibals?

Award-winning author William H. Holden's book "Between Heaven and Hell" (published by Trafford Publishing) takes this premise and advances to contemporary times - after 500 years of tyranny, the Caribs, and the Indians (Native Europeans) finally enter a long-awaited battle for control under an Indian revolution. Roland, a martial arts expert, and Jeanne, an adventurous schoolteacher, battle with main antagonist Aztec Ay-chihuahua, coming to full, mortal combat between the two during the storming of the Bastille.

The Red festivities in Paris, celebrating the 500th anniversary of Submuloc's discovery, go topsy-turvy as Indian (Native European) pranks make chaos of the Grand Parade, escalating into bloody revolution. The intrepid Roland - deep in the bowels of the dread Bastille, frantically searching for the great iron entrance door - engages in mortal combat with the mighty Ay-chihuahua. A smoky scrim arises as thousands of ululating Indians (Native Europeans) assail the fortress-prison - in vain because Red defenders firing automatic weapons from the parapets are inflicting horrific casualties.

Holden's book is a reverse-Columbus novel - history turned upside down. Critiqued as "A Thriller!" it prompts readers to think about our perspectives on Columbus and offers a unique point of view on role- and history-reversal.

About the Author

Bill Holden was an American soldier in Paris during 1945 and earlier was a Columbus aficionado after studying him in third grade - the class spellbound with his adventures, his jittery crew imploring Columbus to turn back, but him commanding them: "Sail on!" During the 500th anniversary of Columbus' 1492 discovery of the Americas, he wrote an article in the Saturday Evening Post and other publications about the dozens of cities in the U.S. named for Columbus. During that 500th anniversary year, when other media were soundly drubbing Columbus, Holden came up with the idea for the politically incorrect, reverse Columbus novel. Holden is the author of two other books, "Sacramento: Excursions into its History and Natural World," and "Dhow of the Monsoon," a personal travel adventure.
