As always, beautiful and tempting women seem to be in the middle of every scenario...from kidnappings and a tragic death at the opera, to becoming involved in an effort to prevent the unleashing of the atomic bomb, thus changing the world forever!

It was Friday, April 11th, 1941. A mysterious flying object crashes near the town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Three alien-like bodies are found. One survives. Thus begins Cable Denning’s extraordinary adventure of government intrigue, murder, and jam-packed action in a fast-paced mystery filled with colorful characters, beautiful babes, and riddles to the question: Are we alone in this cosmos of endless stars?

Cursed by the Fates to be dead by December 31, 1932, Cable journeys to find the Lama Daishi in Himalayan Mountains to be cured of the curse.

Cable's nightmare begins when, while imprisoned, he encounters an 18-foot, genetically altered, deadly King Cobra and then is tortured and dangled from the Death Spire in Chicago. He is still being pursued by the Oculus, who has imposed a deadline to reveal what has been locked in his memory cells. Hitching a ride via a private plane going to a faraway land buys him some time, or does it?

Beautiful women, danger, and a magical experience with Saturnalia's exquisite daughter, Cassiopeia, are in the offing - while plenty of adrenaline-pumping action and murder dot the map of Cable's life; along with the respites that only great music, smoky dives, and beautiful babes in revealing gowns can provide.
