The Overlords of War

Time-travel, aliens, war why we fight it. George Corson, earthman, is sent on secret mission to end a long smoldering war with the birdlike inhabitants of the planet, Uria, 6000 years in the future, only to be used as a pawn by powerful god-like beings. Is there such a thing as the ultimate weapon? Can war be ended once for all? Is the destruction of the universe necessary to achieve peace? Originally published in France under the title Les Seigneurs de la Guerre, this book is a novel of powerful imagery scope whose concept of war as a monstrous self-perpetuating parasite fatterning off all intelligent life will arrest all who read it. Illustrated by Margo Herr.
