From legendary creator Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman, Batman & Robin, The Invisibles), comes the first chapter in his newest creation. 18 Days is the story of three generations of super-warriors, meeting for the final battle of their age, a climactic war that concludes the age of the gods and begins the age of man. "This is not a Lord of the Rings or a Star Wars where the good guys win because they are right. The good guys in 18 Days are forced to cheat and lie and break rules to win. Although it has fantastic, mythic trappings, this is a very modern story of realpolitik and the failure of ideals in the face of harsh truth." ¨C Grant Morrison
Set in ancient India just after Alexander the Great's invasion, this novel takes the reader through the spiritual journey of two seekers. Kautilya, the first seeker, is a Vedic scholar very close to finding the Truth. However, his life takes an unexpected detour, and ends up building the Mauryan Empire. Although successful in re-establishing dharmic value in the Indian subcontinent and getting rid of the vestiges of Alexander's invasion, he continues to have inner struggles about the path he has chosen. Manu, the other seeker, is an elite warrior in the Mauryan Army but ends up becoming a seeker of Truth at a young age. Disappointed in love, he tries to find answers to his spiritual questions first as a Buddhist monk and later as a Sadhu. In this story, the author takes the reader the intriguing journey of the two seekers as they finally overcome Maya to reach Moksha (emancipation), but was it the path specified by The Enlightened One or was it God Himself? This is a novel about Empire building and God Consciousness with a love story intertwined between the two.

James Jensen, the Sadhu, is drawn deeper into India's struggle for independence as he becomes acquainted with Mahatma Gandhi and his principles of non-violence. Meanwhile, dark forces gather, intent on unleashing bloodshed and an ages-old evil.
In the beginning of the last century the Indian Christian Sadhu Sundar Singh met a very old prayer warrior on the roof of the world – the Maharishi of Mt Kailash. Called by Jesus the Maharishi has been interceding for the church of Christ since many years. In the process he has remarkable experiences with the spiritual realm, which are almost unknown to people from the western world. The story of the Maharishi is nearly unbelievable. It reaches far beyond our previous comprehension of what one can experience with heaven now.Sadhu Sundar Singh has been called the »Apostle of India«. He has preached the message of Jesus Christ in many villages and towns of his home country, but also to surrounding nations. His proclamation and exemplary conduct of life fascinate his fellow countrymen as much as Christians all over the world.
