Despite the best efforts of the US Government's Military and Intelligence Services to cover up events behind a devastating massacre of Apache helicopters and their crews during the Gulf War, years later, a brutal robbery in Russia suddenly connects the two events with deadly consequences. A single stolen object - once part of a Nazi treasure horde - could now play its part in the annihilation of all life on Earth; and only one man knows the full reason why, and how Armageddon may be averted.
David Woods, Billionaire Chairman of the global Woods Corporation, holds the potential key to mankind's survival; a millennia old secret to the destruction of civilisations and entire races - a secret that he has always fervently hoped would remain so, knowing only too well the true consequences of its revelation.
Resigning from his Corporation, he is forced to activate a plan that has been in place for thousands of years; used successfully only once before, but at a tragic cost. Recruiting an unsuspecting former student in London, and then convincing him to join in a war against the deadliest foe imaginable may be the least of his problems, even though he is the key to the Earth's survival; convincing world-leaders to help will be an entirely different matter, when a prize worthy of deceit and duplicity is dangled before them.
So begins a globe spanning action-adventure from the America's, Europe and Asia to The Atlantic and The Pacific Oceans, and far beyond. The odds look overwhelming, with seemingly insurmountable set-backs against an enemy with powers beyond human imagination, and deadlier than any conceivable foe; and if the Earth can somehow survive, nothing will be the same again - World-History will need to be re-written, and perceived legends will become fact - but it's a big if...
