The Midas Deception

Although the Great War has ended, the resulting chaos in Germany proves fertile ground for the conspiracies inspired by the Eternal Ones and their allies, the German National Socialists. Having barely survived his contest with Contessa Civita at the conclusion of the "war to end all wars," Colonel Matt List faces a new challenge as the contessa has fled to the other side of the world-China. From her new headquarters in Shanghai, the contessa shatters the millennia-old peace, directing a civil war for domination of the Eternal Ones. With his family thrust into the middle of the war between Midas and the contessa, Matt must solve the prophecy, involving him in a deadly race to find and use the relics the Masters of the Eternal Ones have left them. This leads him on a trail of intrigue and conspiracy from the financial capitals of New York and London to the raucous cabarets of Berlin and Hemingway's avant-garde Paris.
