Description:

Astronauts return to an Earth 800 years in their future dominated by a pagan Goddess-worshiping religion.

He was the sunhero. Stud-god to a million adoring females. After 800 years of exploring the stars Space Commander Stagg had expected a hero's welcome--but this was awesome. First, they grafted real antlers to his head. Then they invested him with the pure sex power of 50 bulls and turned him loose on a screaming frenzy of fired-up virgins. Now he was on an ecstatic public fertility tour that took in every available female--and could soon take his life.

Philip José Farmer applies his unique brand of sci-fi to create a thrilling post-apocalyptic America!

Space Commander Stagg explored the galaxies for 800 years. Upon his return, the hero Stagg is made the centerpiece of an incredible public ritual, one that will repeatedly take him to the heights of ecstasy and the depths of hell.
