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?

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.

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.
