Description:

Members of any sufficiently advanced civilization would appear to us as gods. Maligoth is just this species of god. He is one of the Stik, a race who gained superhuman civilization in the early days of life's evolution on Earth. The Stick are gardeners of infinite parallel Earths. Maligoth's world was the world of the dinosaurs ended by an asteroid impact, terminating a species with a glorious and magnificent future. Rather than start from scratch, Maligoth cheats, genetically altering in the course of a single night the human population of a small Midwestern town and luring them into a primal world within which he will begin the experiment anew. But gods who are not quite all-powerful make mistakes from time to time, and Maligoth's greatest blunder is to abduct the lovely Shasha Abdul, girlfriend of seventeen-year-old Wallace McFerguson.
