3.0 out of 5 stars not to the highest for Van Vogt, 17 Aug 2001
By A Customer
In the first place was the Brilliant One, Ptath, the God of the ground, the sea and the space, in whom they are every compliment the prayers piled and innumerable they offered that he can return to the remainder of his brethren, chosen of his million of years of uniting with his peeps, which within noble sacrifice did bring about the glory of his people and for the development of his spirit, O Diyan, O Kolla, and Divine Rad.

Holroyd was stunned by the words, then closed the book. His attitude of amazement grew and grew, and slowly word became bond: He had kicked off. With exception of this resurrection in a God's body, he was lying deceased on a battlefield. But now he was aged two a hundred million subsequent years, and he the world was destined to govern. He was the God that they venerated like PTATH.

This swell tome was published first as Two Hundred million A. D. and originally as The Book of Ptath in 1947. Deliberately not of the apex delivered by Mr. Van Vogt, still we groan under weight of his genius. A passage or two is high up with the rest of his gentle magnificence.
