The central character, David Rafflinstein, is an only child…an imaginative, creative and highly intelligent young man. David’s passions in life are music and science. As he reaches junior high school, he encounters two new influences which are destined to shape the course of the rest of his life. One is his passion for music and a desire to become Drum Major for his school marching band. The second comes in the form of the enticingly mysterious Mr. Roberts who offers David success in everything he does. This man is part of a supposed secret organization of German Nobles who have developed a remarkable and frightening advanced technology to further their mission…the restoration of Imperial Germany and a thinly-disguised reprise of the mania of ethnic purity and Aryan supremacy so familiar from the recent nightmare of Hitler’s Third Reich.
