Some time in the not too distant future, astronauts discover a derelict spacecraft and bring three of its dormant occupants back to Earth. Unfortunately, they turn out to be some kind of energy vampires. This premise is fine, but what follows is around 200 pages of bullshit philosophy and pseudoscience rather than a story. I was somewhat aware that Wilson actually believed in this stuff but I didn't expect it to hijack the story so much. This definitely isn't a science fiction novel, and is barely a horror story--more a weak vehicle for "new age" mumbo-jumbo. ( )
oh man, written in the 70's, this was pure crap! The whole story is centered around Freudianism, masochim/sadism and some mumbojumbo about lifeforce". Why anyone would consider this entertaining is beyond me!" ( )

Descrizione del libro
Autore di una vasta "Enciclopedia del crimine" e studioso del soprannaturale e dell'occulto, Colin Wilson non poteva mancare prima o poi all'appuntamento con la fantascienza. Ma se l'inizio è tradizionale, se il primo personaggio a entrare in scena è un'astronave immensa e deserta, una cattedrale volante trovata in orbita nella fascia asteroidale, ben presto la storia prende una piega sinistra, ricca di morbose e agghiaccianti sfumature. Cadaveri che si ridestano, vittime che si gettano affascinate in braccio alla morte, orribili sostituzioni di persona, efferati delitti, e una caccia sempre più affannosa alla creatura (ma è soltanto una?) che uccide e distrugge senza pietà per tutta l'Inghilterra. La soluzione sarà insieme spaziale e vampiristica, combinerà felicemente le emozioni classiche della fantascienza con i sudori glaciali della fantasy.
