Can cold wars ever really end? In 1972, Richard Nixon travelled to Beijing to meet with Chairman Mao after backchannel communications opened up an opportunity to speak directly with the Communist Party. Their meeting changed the balance of power throughout the world, and with it, the course of history. Now, the Cold War, thought to be over, may have taken a new turn as Arthur Biers, a young historian, inadvertently gets involved in an illegal raid of the tomb of China’s first emperor. On a mission to preserve history, Arthur learns he may have forever altered its course.
