Summary:
Continuing the popular Belisarius saga, with two full-length novels
in one volume. Destiny’s Shield: Evil from beyond time: The Malwa
Empire squats like a toad across sixth century India, commanded by
ruthless men with depraved appetites. But the thing from the distant
future that commands them is far worse. Those who oppose the purulent
Hell the Malwa will make of Earth have sent a crystal, Aide, to halt
their advance. Aide holds all human knowledge—but cannot act by
himself. That requires Count Belisarius, the greatest general fo the
age and perhaps of all ages, who must outwit the evil empire—and
then, when there is no longer room to maneuver, to meet it sword-edge
to sword-edge, lest evil beyond human conception rules the world
forever. Fortune’s Stroke: Link, the supercomputer from a future that
should not, must not exist has used terror and gunpowder weapons to
forge the Malwa Empire on the Indian subcontinent. Aide and
Belisarius have led the armies of Byzantium and blunted the first
assault of the Malwa hordes. Now he and his allies from all the world
face overwhelming numbers in a ring that tightens about them. 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.
