A futuristic monster has been pushing the Malwa to conquer the world with Belisarius, the greatest general of his age, and his distrustful allies the only hope for mankind.
Armed with lancers, breech-loading rifles, steamships, and galleys, General Belisarius, accompanied by his own ally from the future, ventures into the Malwa Empire, a sixth-century kingdom ruled by Link, a horrifying and evil entity from the future.
Aide, a human soul embodied in a jewel, journeys back in time to join forces with Belisarius, the greatest general of the sixth century, to stop Link, an evil supercomputer that is using its vast powers to rewrite history to create the powerful, technologically advanced Malwa Empire.
Everybody’s favorite general is leading an outnumbered Roman-Persian force to check Malwa aggression in the east, forced to action by the fiends’ sea-borne invasion of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and their subsequent siege of Babylon.
Two complete novels in one volume in the beginning of the Belisarius alternate history military science fiction saga by Eric Flint and David Drake.
