Historical?

Although the protagonist of my two Wilk adventure novels (‘Wilk’ and ‘The Dictator’s Children’) name-drops all sorts of famous people he has met over the course of the Twentieth Century, I’ve not had him actually interact with any of them in the stories. The one exception is a rather brief meeting with the Soviet general Tukhachevsky, mostly involving having a medal pinned on him.

It could be argued whether the books qualify as historical fiction. I’ve never promoted them as such (aside from dropping it into any keywords). ‘Wilk’ is set in Russia, Central Asia, and China in 1919 and 1920, with our protagonist crossing Asia in those tumultuous years of revolution and civil war. ‘The Dictator’s Children’ takes place in 1948 and is a tale of espionage and crime in Florida and Latin America. History is more a backdrop than the focus of the novels, which is why I prefer to label them as adventures.
