Book description
A gripping story about primal evil: a sinister intermingling of power,
politics, modern theology, the dark forces of necromancy, and what
proves, all too terribly, not to be superstition. James Blish
(1921-75) studied microbiology at Rutgers and then served as a medical
laboratory technician in the US army during the Second World War. Among
his best known books are Cities in Flight, A Case of Conscience, for
which he won the Hugo in 1959 for Best Novel, Doctor Mirabilis, Black
Easter and The Day After Judgement.
