A tale of planetary exploration, in this case of a lost colony, turns into a nightmare. Reads a little oddly possibly because it is a translation.
Weird fairy y story where people self-harm for a reason...
Děj románu se odehrává ve válečném Londýně a na různých místech v Čechách za nacistické okupace. Osud statečného československého válečného letce z Anglie se zde tragicky prolíná s osudem vůdce gangsterské tlupy, který využívá letcovy podobnosti, jeho válečného zranění i odhodlání bojovat proti nacistům, aby kryl své rafinované loupeže, provázené chladnokrevnými vraždami.
