Кто такой Джим Келли? Шарлатан, торгующий наркотиками, или последнее воплощение грозного индуистского бога Шивы? Так ли это важно, когда судьба мира уже решена? Тедди Оттингер, летчица и журналистка, пишет летопись конца человечества и пытается пролить свет на эти тайны…

В 1974 вышло продолжение книги — «Майрон».
