It's an old four book series from the '90s but I would recommend The Saga of Pliocene Exile by Julian May. They're available as ebooks. The first one is called The Many Coloured Land.
If you enjoy the world-building, Mrs May wrote a companion series which, IMO, is even better! Starting with a link book (Intervention) there is a three book series called The Galactic Milieu series.
Both series mix fantasy and sci-fi and are truly excellent reads.
I'm a Brit so what do I know? But I can see him taking a leaf out of Putin's playbook and running as VP to a family member running for President, possibly Eric. Then he'll still be in control.
The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It's always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.
Why were you sent here? See below.
Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.
Greed: you shoplifted from a small 'Mom & Pop' store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn't count).
Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.
Lust: you propositioned your spouse's younger sibling (and got turned down).
Envy: you keyed your neighbour's new car.
Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.
Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.
Shoplifting from small 'Mom and Pop' stores harms them and I damn well would report it to the owner. Shoplifting from a large chain store bothers me not a whit.
I have one of those!
