The Trial of William Shakespeare

A Love Story

By: Robert Boog

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Trial of William Shakespeare interweaves a jury trail in Chatworth California that starts with Shakespeare's lawyers attempting to dismiss the case. They claim that Shakespeare's name on the First Folio, plus words from his contemporaries, and gifts bequeathed by the bard establish a "prima facie" case of authorship. The judge disagrees and through the miracle of AI (artificial intelligence) William Shakespeare as well as a cast of notables (Ben Jonson, Francis Bacon, Thomas North, and John Shakespeare) take the stand.
In addition, attorney Michael McKenzie the lead attorney for Edward de Vere, the seventeenth earl of Oxford, goes back to Elizabethan England via the same time-bending machine to do his own personal investigation.
To win his case in the court of public approval, Michael McKenzie puts Shakespeare's words under a microscope. Bringing together little-known historical facts and little-noticed elements of Shakespeare's plays, author Robert Boog makes inspired connections between the original text of Shakespeare and the writings of Edward de Vere. Boog is able to deliver "a surprisingly convincing, and thought-provoking case for Edward de Vere."
If you are convinced that William Shakespeare wrote the works attributed to him, read The Trial of William Shakespeare. Readers see the original evidence as if for the first time, but with a different twist. The tale of the young man from Stratford-upon-Avon who rises to fame in London might not be exactly what you’ve been led to believe.

What if Shakespeare's genius was tainted, and you could go back in time to prove it?
In a fascinating case, Michael McKenzie, a brilliant 21st-century lawyer, finds himself representing Edward de Vere the 17th earl of Oxford who claims credit for Shakespeare's works. This court case takes place through modern AI technology, and jurors in the courtroom absorb communications taking place across centuries and timelines. When Edward reverses the programming, Michael relives Edward's life in a bid to discover the truth.

A troubled childhood and a strained love story are just the tip of the iceberg that add intrigue to the case. As Edward’s life unfolds, Michael and the entire court start to see that Edward's claims might hold some truth.
The surprising evidence, over 400 years old, begs the question: "Did the Bard of Avon write the works or was he a mere imposter?"
