A Historical Thriller of a real life Monte Cristo!
Who is the Count of Saint-Germain? A mysterious, ageless adventurer who dabbles in alchemy, composes operas, and spies for kings. Throughout the 18th century, he never appears to age, always a strikingly handsome & comfortably wealthy gentleman of around 40 years. The Count is forever entwined in pivotal events - from the Persian Invasion to the Scottish Rebellion to the French Revolution, but always from the shadows.

He was the last son of an exiled Hungarian prince. Falsely accused by the Italian Inquisition, he loses everything; including his very identity, and Luciana, the love of his life. He searches the globe, from the Mediterranean to the Himalayas, desperately seeking answers to his cryptic destiny. But those who betrayed him will not get off scot-free. For Time is now on his side, and the Clock is ticking for his enemies.

A grand adventure, written on the canvas of the globe with an hourglass lasting a century. Rich in historic detail, the past comes alive through the eyes of one of history’s greatest mysteries.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This story is built around the adventures of Ferenc (Francis) Rakoczi aka Count Saint Germain, a Hungarian prince in the mid 1700s. It's a slow burning tale and it takes a while for the story to gather pace but the further I got into it the more engrossing it became.

The author has a very fluent, engaging prose style that draws you in and he has populated his story with interesting characters, both good guys and bad guys. But it is the historical research that really shines here, particularly given the number of years that the story covers and the number of different locations visited by the main characters. The descriptions of major historical events and his characters' involvement in them are both gripping and informative. Without giving anything away, I thought the ending was handled well too.

If you want to read a good adventure about the 18th century and learn a lot at the same time, I would recommend this book. - Norman12

From the Author

I first stumbled across the Count of Saint-Germain in a chapter of a dusty old book on historical mysteries. Tucked between the Great Pyramids and Jack the Ripper was this guy. It wasn't just his ageless persona that keyed me in, it was the fact he spoke over a dozen languages fluently, had a secret identity no one knew and churches worshipped him to this day. How could I have never heard of this guy? I had to learn more and began a decades long search of reading everything I could on the man, including trips to Europe to complete my research. Finally I had enough facts to start writing this novel, filling in the gaps with my own historical narrative. I hope you enjoy this labor of love.
