• Extra informatie: 394420535 Teddy Ottinger, lesbian aviatrix and part-time journalist, becomes personal pilot to Kelly, an ex-G.I. from New Orleans who's an expert in chemical-biological warfare from his time in Vietnam. Together with a few followers, he declares himself the reincarnation of the Hindu god Kalki & becomes leader of a religious cult that takes on a world following. But Kelly/Kalki has a deeper purpose: He wants to destroy all of humankind & repopulate the world with his progeny. This is a dark, imaginative, engaging novel of religion & culture, & something of a companion piece to Messiah, altho not quite as original or captivating.
