Diejenigen, die Hacker Georg Brand alias T-Rex für seine Freunde hält, nutzen den ahnungslosen Computerfreak nur als Spielball ihrer vertrackten Machenschaften aus und lassen ihn glauben, die größten Rätsel der Geschichte knacken zu können. Wer sind die Hintermänner, von denen T-Rex noch nicht einmal etwas ahnt, welchen kultischen Riten scheinen sie zu frönen? Und welche Rolle ist dabei eigentlich Georgs Widerpart, Ian G., zugedacht? ist auch er nur eine Variable einer uralten Weltverschwörung, oder ist er für eine ganz andere Rolle bestimmt?

In the second edition of his Very Short Introduction, Skinner includes new material on The Prince, showing how Machiavelli developed his neo-classical political theory, through engaging in continual dialogue with the ancient Roman moralists and historians, especially Cicero and Livy. The aim of political leaders, Machiavelli argues, should be to act virtuously so far as possible, but to stand ready "to be not good" when this course of action is dictated by necessity.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.

"BOOK THE FOURTH: ISABEL": I come to the most evasive and difficult part of my story, which is to tell how Isabel and I have made a common wreck of our joint lives. It is not the telling of one simple disastrous accident.

As a young Florentine envoy to the courts of France and the Italian principalities, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) was able to observe firsthand the lives of people strongly united under one powerful ruler. His fascination with that political rarity and his intense desire to see the Medici family assume a similar role in Italy provided the foundation for his "primer for princes." In this classic guide to acquiring and maintaining political power, Machiavelli used a rational approach to advise prospective rulers, developing logical arguments and alternatives for a number of potential problems.
