Doch die Nation der Powtankaner wird noch von einem weiteren Übel bedroht: Immer mehr Menschen benehmen sich äußerst merkwürdig, das Ganze scheint sich wie eine Seuche auszubreiten. Ausgerechnet jetzt geraten die Geistkrieger in den Fokus widerstreitender politischer Interessen.

By the 50th year of his reign, Louis XIV has made France the most powerful state in the western world, but the Sun King's appetite for glory knows no bounds.

It is April 1964 in a world in which the "swinging '60s" never happened. Two Soviet tank armies have fallen on Iran and are pouring down from the Zagros Mountains onto the Iraqi floodplains of the Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers like wolves upon the fold. In the United States, the overwhelming popular mood is one of "America first". The "victory" of the October War has never seemed more pyrrhic, or all the death, destruction, and grief more futile, than it does in the second week of April 1964. Only one thing is certain: The world is about to be turned upside down again.
