They were eternal beings who made full sensory movies of wars, of natural disasters -- and of the most macabre human horrors -- to relieve their endless boredom. "And then, when they finally became jaded by ordinary, run-of-the-mill tragedies, they found new ways of creating their own disasters . . . Just for kicks. "But interfering with Earth's natives was strictly against regulations, and the authorities occasionally did check into these matters. However, by the time investigator Kelexel arrived on the scene, the trouble had been going on for a long, long time - and things were getting worse! ".

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. A tight, clean and unmarked copy-Third printing April 1982-" A great psychological story of twists and turns of alien being who think they are gods using earth and humans as toys.- aliens are using others for entertainment. - This is a book for everyone who feels like we are not really in control of our lives. In it, Herbert posits that a group of immortal aliens, struggling against the ever-present weight of boredom, have been secretly manipulating events on earth for thousands of years in order to provide entertainment dramas for their race. These aliens are responsible for humans becoming civilized, developing religion, fighting with each other on both a grand and personal scale, and basically everything else that has ever happened on our planet. One of the major storylines of the story involves an investigator coming from the alien government to learn why the owner of this planet (and the creator of these most famous entertainment spectacles) is still interested in this planet after thousands of years. The answer to that is the great mystery of the novel. The second plot is more personal. It focuses on a psychologist (Herbert loves to have psychologists as main characters) whose ex-girlfriend's father has just murdered her mother with a saber. This psychologist has just suffered an accident involving radiation which damaged his eyes. The unique eyeglasses that correct his damaged vision also permit him to see through the cloaking devices of the aliens and notice them. The psychologist attempts to find out how and why the aliens are playing with people's emotions and causing so much damage."-Gilbert-Light edge wear.
