Book description
Simeon Krug's obsession is to see a tower built, on kilometre high,
that will reach out to answer the voice from space. The Androids are his
tools; superb, man-like creations of Man. The Androids take Krug for
their God, and seek to become one with flesh-and-blood mankind through
his wisdom. But Krug is not God - and it takes a God to control the
terrible emotions Krug has stirred . . . Robert Silverberg (1935 - )
