description: Those Who Only three human beings would ever know that the blinding flash in the sky on that night in 1982 was an exploding flying saucer. Only they would learn the truth about THOSE WHO WATCH - about the alien observers who came into this world in a crash landing from the stars. THOSE WHO WATCH is the strange, seductive story of three accidental colonists from outer space whose chance encounter with Earth brought revelation to three earthly counterparts - and triggered interplanetary conflict. It is a remarkable story by one of science fiction's most remarkable writers. Gundersen returned to Holman's World seeking atonement for his harsh years as colonial governer. But now this lush, exotic planet of mystery was called by its ancient name of Belzagor, and it belonged once again to its native alien races, the nildoror and the sulidoror. 10 superb stories, some of which are as terrifying as others are funny - and not a few of which are both. Second Nat Hamlin's brilliant career as an artist came to an end the day he went insane and embarked on a murderous rampage ... his Total Personality Replacement. Lissa loved Nat for his passion, now she loves him again--but as Paul Macy--for his warmth and kindness. Tower of Simeon Krug is a man with a vision. He wants to communicate with the stars and is building a glass tower on the Arctic tundra for this purpose. The androids working on the tower treat Krug as a god, believing that through him they will become flesh, until, that is, the day they realise the truth.
