Kronos

The immortals have gathered, as they tend to do, once or twice every century. This time their Enclave will be held far out in the Australian Outback, at an ancient underground fortress almost as old as they are. Worshipped as gods by various historical and prehistorical peoples, the unaging Lords of Creation will speak, interact, exchange notes, do mortal battle, and make love, as they have for hundreds of thousands of years... since before the fall of Atlantis. Since before mankind had written language.

This year, however, the threat of the Bearers -- a mysterious group that seems bent on their destruction -- has them all on edge. If the immortals come under fire, they may well have to flee to the outermost edges of the Universe... or to the lowermost depths of the racial Id, AKA, Hell. And if that happens, where do they go from there?

What can destroy the gods themselves... and how long will the world and its human inhabitants survive, when their deities are all gone to dust?

"If the next evolutionary level of science fantasy were engineered from the literary DNA of Philip K. Dick combined with Robert A. Heinlein, this psychedelic saga of sex, strife, and spiritual sensuality would be the result. Madigan scores again! TEN STARS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"
