Evil can be so misunderstood. A melting, a destruction that brings us back into a state of nothingness; a state where nothing can be destroyed; and all is calm . It is just regrettable that what it takes to get from here to there is so messy; so chaotic; so carelessly disordered. One has come to help mankind in this transition; a transition that ' should ' be easy now that all that is good has fled this world: One has come to bring Order to this Time of Trouble. This helper of mankind goes by the Name of Gaiius Matraeus; or ' The Giver of Death " War . Between Russia, China, the United States and her western allies . All revolving around an insane ' global king ' who is reigning in the city of Jerusalem . There is only one small catch . And that is that the world has gone completely dark; no electricity; no sunlight . Leaving the combatants to struggle in extremely primitive conditions . And yet ... there must be a winner, someone who claims victory in this war of attrition . Who shall it be ? The Israeli King, and his supporters ? Or the alliance of the Princes of Moscow ? ' The Master of Morte ' knows the answer . This is the second book of ' The Telos Trilogy '; and the sequel to ' The New Earth Star ' The Master of Morte is published in two parts . This is part one Thank you Fred Taikowski
