A hundred thousand years from now, Creohan the scholar discovers a star approaching Earth on a deadly collision course. if he can arouse everyone to the danger, there might be time enough to save the world.
But the Earth had become a strange and kaleidoscopic place in that distant era. Too many empires had risen and fallen—humans has become too apathetic, too self-centered to pay attention to the new alarm. Creohan would have to save the world by himself.
The story of his efforts is a brilliant blend of science-fiction and fantasy, and one of John Brunner's most colorful concepts.
