There are those coming who seek her, those coming who seek that which lies hidden on the planet's surface.Far below, beneath the forest's canopy, the people rejoice, for the words of the Prophet are true. The starmen are coming and their daughters will be saved. The God will taste of new flesh...For Security Officer Alice Peterson it is just another combat drop to a hostile planet...For Billy Totem it is the last chance to find his missing brother...For Captain Everhard it might just be his last flight...None can know of the horrors and ecstasies that await them on the surface or of the sacrifices that will need to be made to protect those that yet live.Warning: This erotic novella contains sexually explicit depictions and as such is intended for an adult readership only.
