In a postapocalyptic future, the Hierarchy of the Great God controls technology and, with it, the
commoners. Brother Armon Jarles, a young priest, becomes enraged and speaks out against the
church. When he is claimed by the forces of evil, the Hierarchy finds itself in a fight with witches--
and with technology that could match its own. Stefan Rudnicki reads this story, originally serialized
in ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION in 1943, with deep, sinister intonations that hint of menace
and a bit of devilishness. His character voices lean to the unusual, adding to the mood of an
unsettling but fascinating world. J.A.S. ┬й AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright ┬й

Wow!!, September 17, 2000
Reviewer:
This is the first book of Leiber's that I have read and I am very impressed. Though the book was
written in the 1950's it is able to transend 40 odd years and still be relevent in todays thinking. The
most interesting twist is how Leiber moved away from science explaining the supernatural to
science using the supernatural to maintain control on an ignorant society of peasents. Another
impressive twist to the book was Leiber's ability to move the focus of the novel from between three
different, yet important characters, without any interuption. I can not wait to read more of his
books. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
