Deep in the Himalayas, an ancient occult sect is planning to lead the world to destruction. The Yellow Magicians of Tibet have traded their humanity for immense power. Exiled long ago for their perversion of yogic science, they have combined Taoist alchemy and Chinese black magic to gain almost godlike abilities. But their final transmutation requires the vast energy that only nuclear weapons could provide. In 1928 they already foresee the Second World War and its unprecedented technological advances.
Elsewhere in the world, nations are attempting to rebuild after the devastation of World War I. William Thorgrimmson, a Norwegian sailor, served valiantly in the Great War. He has survived an attack by the magicians and is marked for death, along with his sister and their American cousin. Together with a few others, including Andrew Lee, a Manhattan Chinatown businessman with important knowledge of the magicians, and Anne Devlin, a brilliant and beautiful linguist who is also targeted, William begins to uncover their plans and to fight back, while there is still time to stop them.
In recounting his heroes' thrilling quest, author Craig Moen has created an epic adventure novel you won't be able to put down.
