Fortune's Stroke
 EVIL
FROM BEYOND TIME
RULES THE GREATEST
EMPIRE ON EARTH!
Link, the supercomputer from a future that should not exist, has used
terror and gunpowder weapons to forge the Malwa Empire: harnessing the
vast manpower of the Indian subcontinent and using the barbarian races
of the periphery to bind the whole together. No power on Earth in the
6th century could stand against Link's evil.
Aide, a human soul embodied in a jewel, has come back to halt evil's
progress. Aide has no power but that of truth, but truth is the only
power that could move the greatest general of the age, Belisarius.
With his sword, his paladins, and his genius, Belisarius has turned
the armies of Byzantium into a weapon capable of blunting the first
assault of the Malwa hordes. Now, supported by allies from all the world
yet free, Belisarius, with his wife and co-commander Antonia, faces
overwhelming Malwa numbers in a ring that tightens about them.
There is no room for maneuver and no safety in defeat. The armies of
Good and Evil gathered on the fertile plains of Mesopotamia will decide
the fate of the world.
And the fate of all the future!
