If the savage \"scratchers\" don't kill you, the poisoned environment will. But one man wanders this desolate landscape and sees beauty: glorious visions of impossible places and majestic beings not of Earth. Scorned and mocked as a madman, Tom doubts his sanity until his visions mysteriously begin to spread to others and a returning star probe offers evidence that they are real. Now, as a new religion is born, with Tom as its reluctant messiah, violent forces are unleashed--forces that have the power to transform humanity . . . or destroy it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Silverberg is one of science fiction's most beloved writers, and the author of such contemporary classics as \u003ci\u003eDying Inside\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Downward to the Earth, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLord Valentine's Castle\u003c\/i\u003e.
