Description:

The Rites of Ohe: The Immortal, the supermen, and the puzzle that couldn't be solved.

"How short a time a century really is. . . " The speaker was Immortal Karmesin, and he had lives a thousand years. He stood, a gigantic figure against the rush of time, a permanently open channel for the infants of the galaxy to explore the deep past.

He was anathema to the Phoenixes, for their creed was that of birth in death, of regeneration in destruction. And he knew that he - one man - had to unravel the Phoenix mystery, or live to watch it bring fiery death to all the planets of man.
