Gordon Dickson était un auteur de science-fiction américain dont l'œuvre aborde souvent des thèmes tels que le conflit, la moralité et la rédemption. Son style de prose est connu pour sa solide structure narrative et son exploration incisive de la nature humaine dans des conditions extrêmes. À travers ses personnages mémorables et ses mondes complexes, il examine des questions fondamentales d'identité et de société. L'écriture de Dickson offre un regard profond et provocateur sur la condition humaine.
Life on Earth is good. Disease is checked, hunger ended, and war and suffering abolished, with liberty and justice and a high standard of living for all. But Paul Formain, a strangely gifted young engineer, doesn't believe a word of it. So he comes to Walter Blunt's Chantry Guild, whose motto is "Destruct " and whose stated goal is the end of civilization. There are Alternate Laws at work in the world, says the Chantry Guild; Walter Blunt has pledged his life to them, and to the principle of destruction as a positive force. Even more disturbingly, the Alternate Laws appear to work. After centuries of hope and progress, and the triumph of science, something strange is happening to mankind. And whatever it is, it's going to be big.
