Book description
Secretive, enigmatic beings, they came to Earth to live among humanity
in quiet, aristocratic isolation. But now, after years of silence, the
"gods" have decided to share their art. Across the vast
galactic void come great ships bearing the fruits of an incomprehensible
alien culture - paintings and sculpture of such raw, visceral power that
their unveiling plunges the Earth into violent chaos and sends the
visitors fleeing from their adopted planet. But some remain behind - to
face death at the hands of rampaging mobs, to witness the outcome of the
grand cosmic game and to assist in the creation of one last, potentially
universe-shattering masterpiece that will illuminate the awesome, final
destinies of god and man. Mark S. Geston has degrees in history and
law and is a practising attorney. His first novel, Lords of the
Starship, was published in 1967 while he was still in college, but he
has published relatively little since the mid-1970s.
