About this ebook
In a vast cosmic bureaucracy where ancient gods govern galaxies like rival ministries, the younger deity Dalen dares to propose an audacious experiment: the creation of a new kind of bipedal life. His vision is not merely to make beings that think, but to shape a species with both intelligence and sentiment, something he believes could bring greater harmony to the universe. As he weighs the strengths of birds and mammals, he is especially drawn to the mammalian opposed thumb as a foundation for technical progress. But Dalen's idealism immediately collides with power. To proceed, he must win over Mogar, a jealous, conservative elder god whose authority over the IX Galaxy makes him a formidable obstacle. Their exchange becomes a tense test of wills and minds, with Dalen probing Mogar's defenses and discovering unsettling signs of hidden, disjunctive motives that may threaten the experiment from within. As the confrontation escalates toward a psychic showdown, Dalen prepares to unleash forbidden power from multiple dimensions. Yet Mogar abruptly shifts the balance by calmly asking where the experiment will take place, leaving the conflict unresolved, the stakes intact, and the cosmic politics more dangerous than ever. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
