ISBN: 9781957240855

Binding: paperback

Section: Science-Fiction/Fantasy

An interstellar voyage takes three Englishmen to Tormance, a planet orbiting the double star Arcturus, one hundred light years from Earth. Allegorical in nature, the story chronicles the experiences of characters as they travel though lands that represent philosophical systems or states of mind while the main protagonist, Maskull, searches for the meaning of life. An unusual amalgam of fantasy, philosophy, and science fiction, the story explores the nature of good and evil and their relationship to being.
