Description

EVIL FROM BEYOND TIME The Malwa Empire squats like a toad across 6th century India, commanded by ruthless men with depraved appetites. The thing from the distant future that commands them is far worse. AN ADVISOR WITHOUT A BODY 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 he cannot act by himself. A CHAMPION FOR ALL TIMES Count Belisarius, the greatest general of the age and perhaps of all ages, must outwit the evil empire - and then, when there is no longer room to maneuver, to meet it sword-edge to sword-edge, because, no matter what it costs EVIL CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO RULE MEN!

One more read, they seem to be getting better. The bad guys are now being challenged and even defeated. The good guys are doing well.

The third book in the Belisarius series. Two AI's from the future have come to Earth - one to change the future in favor of machines, the other to prevent as much change as possible. (if you ignore the firearms.....) The action is in full swing now with Belisarius and his troops in the field

countering the evil Link and minions. The in the field action in this book takes place in Persia, with the Roman legions facing off again against the skilled Persians. Good action, good setting, great characters and great military action.
