A metaphysical action adventure love story where the space ship crew colonize an ancient planet, tyrannize the populace, and use technology to turn themselves into powerful gods and goddesses. One man stands alone to fight his old colleagues and free mankind. The planet is called Earth....
Far into the future. Long after the Destruction of their home planet Urath...
We find ourselves on an earthlike planet of 3000 years ago. What remains of humankind's descendants are now subjugated by the First Colonists, who were the crew of the starship that brought them to Earth 1000 years ago. They have taken control of ancient technologies that have enhanced themselves with godlike psychic powers and technical immortality. They have adopted an ancient Hindu-like religion and live lives as its Gods, yet surrounded by super-electronic weaponry within the trappings of a primitive civilization. Our story is caught in a classic drama of power, love, honor, pride, fantasy, war … and ultimate transcendence.
Our hero is Sam, unready to battle the tyrannical forces of the Celestial City allied with his former wife Candi, who is now the rapturous Kali, The Goddess of Destruction. With her is her new love Yama, The Red Lord of Death. Behind them stands Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and the vast Pantheon of gods and demigods of the City of Heaven. . . .
Sam is the dreamer and master schemer. He is the strategist and cosmic trickster who becomes Siddhartha and then the Buddha to ward off the iron grasp of Heaven. Sam is the ancient renegade god Kalkin whose powers become ever-more revealed to him as he fights to change the course of an entire civilization --- and upon whose shoulders rests the future of the entire world.
In the end he will be recognized by history as the true leader, the Binder of Destiny,
The Lord of Light . . .
And Now, from the May, 2007 issue of Wired Magazine, comes the story (or part of it) regarding how the Lord of Light screenplay and drawings were used to help free 6 Americans from Iran in 1979.
