It is long after the death of Earth. A band of men and women on a colony planet has gained control of technology. With it, they have given themselves immortalty and godlike powers, and they rule their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon: Kali, Goddess of Destruction; Yama, Lord of Death; Krishna, God of Lust. All are opposed by him who was Siddhartha, who is now Mahasamatman, Binder of Demons, Lord of Light.BONUS AUDIO: Includes an exclusive introduction by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author James Patrick Kelly, who explains why Lord of Light remains as fresh today as when it won the Hugo Award more than 40 years ago.
