<b>From the back cover of the Ballantine first edition:</b> "The year is 1999. The century is about to turn. The civilized world is prosperous but tense with fear about the still existing possibility of a major war. While in the large area that used called "underdeveloped" there is a hysterical conviction that the world will cone to an end with the arrival of the new century <p>Into this explosive situation floats a creature calling himself Vornam-19 - and claiming to be a visitor from 1000 years in the future... The world is ready, indeed ripe, for a sign, an omen, a new cult. <p>But no one realizes exactly what Vornaa-19 is in his own right."
