The story is set in a post-apocalyptic 20th century, where the Martians, having observed humanity for centuries, are divided into the Angels, who aim to subtly guide humanity towards a brighter future, and the Demons, who seek to exploit human weaknesses for their own gain. The narrative centers around an Angel named Elmis and his protege, a young genius named Mark, as they navigate the moral dilemmas and challenges posed by the Demons' interference. Through its compelling characters and thought-provoking plot, the novel questions the essence of influence and the potential for redemption in a world riddled with conflict and disparity. Edgar Pangborn's masterful storytelling weaves a tale that is both captivating and introspective, offering a mirror for readers to reflect on the human condition. ; 19 x 13 x 1.8 cms; 191 pages.
