A thrilling alternate history adventure from the Philip K. Dick
Award-winning author of The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli is a diplomat, an author, a
philosopher and historian. An immortal.
Touched by a malevolent alien intelligence with a vampiric lust for
sensation and misery, Earth stands at a crossroads as many worlds have
before it. When a rival species sends a warning to Earth, Machiavelli is
transformed into a protector of mankind.
Travelling the ages, an unlikely hero immune to death, he must stop the
corrupted, from the Borgias to Friedrich Nietzsche, before we destroy
ourselves for the watcher's pleasure.
