The Tenth Unknown is a mix of myth, fact and fiction. Starting in Emperor Ashoka\u0083??s court in Rajagriha, Magadha in 232 BC and ending with India\u0083??s independence in 1947, this action-packed thriller, set primarily against the backdrop of World War II, is a high- octane and heady cocktail.<\/p>\n

The Third Reich under Adolf Hitler has acquired one out of a series of nine books containing forbidden knowledge leading to unlimited power and wealth. Until now, the books have been protected for centuries by a secret society\u0083??the Nine Unknown Men of Emperor Ashoka.
