David Icke tells the astonishing story of how the world is controlled today by royal bloodlines seeded in the ancient world that have passed through history, manipulating the human race for thousands of years.

Using hundreds of illustrations, Icke exposes this biggest secret and explains how and why we are now racing towards a global fascist state - unless we wake up fast.
