Two complete novels in one volume—the beginning of the Belisarius
saga.
An Oblique Approach: In northern India the Malwa have created an
empire of unexampled evil. Guided or possessed by an intelligence from beyond
time, with new weapons, old treachery, and an implacable will to power, the
Malwa will sweep over the whole Earth. Only three things stand between the Malwa
and their plan of eternal domination: the empire of Rome in the East, Byzantium;
a crystal with vision; and a man named Belisarius, the greatest commander Earth
has ever known.
In the Heart of Darkness: Having conquered sixth century
India, the Malwa Empire is forging the subcontinent's vast population into an
invincible weapon of tyranny. Belisarius, the finest general of his age, must
save the world. Guided by visions from a future that may never be, he and a band
of comrades penetrate the Malwa heartland, seeking the core of the enemy's
power. And when Belisarius leads the forces of good, only a fool would side with
evil.
