Description
A distant world where gods walk as men, wielding vast and hidden powers, is home to a subtle pattern of alliance, love, and deadly enmity. These immortal beings have shaped the destiny of their world through a complex web of relationships. Their names are known: Brahma, Kali, Krishna, and Buddha, also known as the Lord of Light, now preferring to be called Sam. The story unfolds as the colonization of another planet becomes a re-enactment of Eastern mythology, showcasing one of the greatest imaginative feats in modern science fiction. This novel won the Hugo Award for best novel in 1968, cementing its place in the genre.
