They have always been here.
Harold Hampton heard something he was never supposed to hear.
From the last charge of the war elephants at Thapsus in 46BC, to the fall of the Knights Templar in October 1307. From the final Highland charge at Killiecrankie, to the mud and thunder of Messines in 1917. From the lonely roadsides of South Armagh to the glass towers of the modern world.
They watched. They waited. They intervened - when they had to.

They loaded the weapon. They did not always fire it.

A pan-historical thriller of epic scale. History has never felt this dangerous.
