The first of these novellas, "New Hastings", chronicles the discovery of the semi-continent. "Avalon", the second novella, chronicles the destruction of the pirates of Avalon, led by Red Rodney Radcliffe, a descendant of Edward, by a joint Anglo-Dutch-Atlantean navy under the leadership of Red Rodney's cousin, William Radcliff, in the mid-1660s. "Nouveau Redon," the third and longest novella in the collection, follows the Atlantean campaign of the French and Spanish War, which sees French Atlantis conquered and annexed to British Atlantis.
