| Publisher Description: The War of the Worlds. Coming from Mars, dangerous invaders land on planet Earth. Their spaceships are tripods with heat rays that destroy a good segment of the British army sent to fight against them. They press on towards London, creating enormous population displacement and casualties. As refugees struggle to flee England to France, they are cut off by tripod machines which are subsequently destroyed by the Navy. In a little less than a month, the Martians are defeated as they have no immunity to earthly microbial infections. Journey to Empycrist II. In the immensity of the universe, there is the Earth: a blue crystal turning black. In the vastness of the Creation, there is Empycrist II: the illusion of Paradise on Earth. Between them, man, this strange creature, is about to destroy the first, what compels him to go to the second in order to survive. Five brilliant scientists go to this planet and, at the same time, understand, through a journey into their own human nature, that the survival of mankind is not a problem of geography. If madness leads to barbarity, reason leads to humanity. Reaching a higher level of consciousness, they discover the aim of the universe and the role of man in the Creation. Reader, follow them to Empycrist: you will see you in the mirror of truth... |
