The argument which is built around the story told in the novel is a theological matrix. The hero is his father Ramon, a scholar, a biologist, a Jesuit. He believes that Lithia, just discovered an alien planet, and intelligent race that inhabits it are fruits of the devil, Satan giving a creative power and thus falling into heresy Manichean. Meanwhile, one of these aliens live and grow on Earth, threatening to destroy, as a novel anti-Christ, the entire society land before his father Ramon manages to put a permanent remedy aberration ...
The idea, intriguing and promising, but not as thoroughly as it deserves. The logical steps that should support the thesis of the protagonist and, in general, the theological references throughout the novel are often only hinted at, treated in a superficial way or make out a dark or inconclusive.
Even the plot is ultimately pretty boring, some parts, in particular, seem detached from the general scenario, unnecessary accessories that only prolong the wait for the final rendezvous.
Overall, the novel is an interesting work but also a missed opportunity for a great book.
