The Tenth Avatar

by Gary Naiman

The most important battle of World War II was fought three months before the war began. . .

Set in 1939 with locations in Europe, Asia, and America, this epic adventure follows five tormented strangers on a trek to the Far East where a plane has crashed on a mountain with a cargo of gold. Driven by their bitter pasts, they climb into the clouds to retrieve the plane's treasure, unaware that a flight of Japanese Imperial Marines is closing from the east. The plane's cargo is not gold, but its radioactive light will determine the victor of World War II.
