'It's 1908 and the Golden Cube of the Sun God, safely hidden in Peru for over 500 years, has been stolen. Made of pure gold, the cursed object has the power to control the minds of men - and bloody revenge is its aim.

The most powerful man in South America - Bishop Francisco - has succumbed to its torment. A man has been crucified. Innocents are being murdered. The Peruvian army has been mobilised. Everyone is afraid.

Only one man is immune to its spreading evil: Wilson Downling, the Overseer, a man transported from the future who must carry out a series of vital missions encoded in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

His latest assignment had seemed simple enough: assist the hapless American explorer Hiram Bingham to discover the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu. But history is wildly off course and everything is different now.

The fate of the world is at stake ...' (Publisher's website)

The Allied forces will be hopelessly outnumbered, yet Lord Elgin's army will inflict one of the most decisive victories in history. Their incredible military success will be due to the guidance of just one man - a Chinese with blue eyes - who knows every aspect of the future.

Randall Chen has been sent back in time to chart the destiny of the
Middle Kingdom, ensuring that the greatest treasure in Asia is protected. But even with his exceptional foresight he will underestimate Empress Ci Xi, a calculating Manchurian beauty with an insatiable lust for power.
