Synopsis

In a universe where Mohammed became a Christian, the Byzantine Empire has not only survived, it flourishes--developing technology at an earlier date than in our universe. But Byzantium has many jealous enemies, and thus Basil Argyros, Byzantium's version of 007, has his hands full thwarting subversive plots.
