High in the Swiss Alps, on a clear, starry night, a 12 seater airplane crashes into a tint, isolated mountain community. This is no ordinary plane crash, however. For one thing, the authorities impose a strict blackout on the accident, and routine questions remain strangely unanswered. What kind of plane was it? How many people had been aboard? Where did they come from and where were they going? Were there any survivors?

Under the relentless probing of a veteran newsman, bizarre facts graduallt emerge... the plane was a Pampini, an experimental flying machine built in 1938, of which only six were made,none ever flew and al were destroyed, yet the aircraft that had hit the mountain was a mechanically perfect specimen; there were no survivors because there were no people on board the ghost plane, no pilot, no navigator and no passengers; and most incredibly of all, the litle town the into which the plane had flown had NOT EXISTED before the crash.

Then a survivor is found,,, the nude body of a young man with the looks and physique of a greek god is discovered frozen stiff in the snow. Miraculously after four days buried in snow and ice, he awakens and makes an astonishing recovery. But who is he? Where does he come from and why does he appear to speak no language known on earth?

So unfolds Uri Geller's exciting and dramatic first novel. The world famous mystifier has called on all the experience of his own remarkable powers to create the memorable character of Shawn, the beautiful but dangerous stranger who has come from another world and another time to bring a vital message to Earth and it's warring peoples. As the mystery of the young foundling deepens, we learn of his incredible powers, his mesmeric effect on women and the cynical efforts of the worlds Superpowers to buy control of the "ultimate" psychic weapon.
