Immortality. What would you do if you had the recipe to

Ronson soon discovers the immortality formula also gives
him supernatural powers and fantastic musical abilities. He decides to travel

where his performance catches the attention of a disgraced British missionary
and his beautiful, adopted niece Jennifer.

What follows is a fascinating trail of discovery from New
York City to a remote Tibetan monastery where Ronson learns the immortality
formula has been closely guarded for thousands of years. Time, however, is
running out and Ronson learns German occultists who helped bring Hitler to
power in the 1930s have selected another Aryan messiah, and this time he has
the formula. Steven cannot allow the nightmare he experienced in Germany to
happen again.

“There are many strange and bizarre parts that are
historically accurate, but only known to a few and they buttress each other in
a way that will make some wonder if the entire book is non-fiction,” says
Castello. “I have a feeling that more than few history professors will chuckle
to themselves – until they dig deep enough.”
