This new, awe-inspiring flight into fantasy from one of the true masters of Science Fiction will not fail to capture the imagination and amaze all who read it.
The Watcher has spent decades of his life scanning the vast depths of space for invaders. When they arrive and conquer, his purpose in life is done.
The conquerors establish control and men collaborate, go into hiding, or sullenly resist, and the Watcher begins to travel. He studies ancient mysteries and so prepares himself for his unforeseen destiny. In the ancient holy city of Jorslem he hopes to regain his lost youth and claim the slim young girl he has come to love. But more than his own destiny awaits him here for this slender girl, who soars on luminescent wings, holds the key to Earth's freedom.
Robert Silverberg is a Hugo Award winner, and his fans await each new book with eager anticipation. They will not be disappointed by this one.
