Reminiscent of the early days of science fiction, this novel is masterful blend of old and new. You are taken on a journey of adventure and discovery that reflects the plot's Asian / Indian heritage. Genres combine to make this book a true literary treasure. The plot is unique. It contains elements not seen in more traditional science fiction novels. Perhaps someday Soma Vira will have the same literary reputation as Ben Bova.

Interplanetary Politicking....Treachery, kidnapping, double dealing and espionage follow. In the end the reader is left with critical questions: Who will win this war? Will the Asuras redeem themselves or will a faction pervert their effort to dogood on earth because of greed for the forbidden knowledge of the Astral Sciences? What will be Lord Kito's revenge?
