Odyssey in White Satin Otanes 1st edition

The final conflict: Faith vs. Gullibility?

A young girl witnesses the destruction that warring factions unleash on humanity. They demand that individuals embrace their collective beliefs or suffer deadly punishment. The young girl?s reluctant odyssey sees her confront the rival factions on their battlefield and boldy challenge their casus belli with logic and reason.

But her foes dismiss her with ad feminam insults, and the slaughter continues. As the girl grieves, a forgotten hero rescues her from our doomed world before she witnesses its final destruction. From a sanctuary of peace and rational thinking, both she and the reader now reflect on a galactic museum?s guided history of humankind, to conclude that the destruction of our civilization was inevitable. Or was it? Could we really have saved ourselves? How?

Inspired by the enigmatic 1967 television series The Prisoner and other monuments to independent thought, Odyssey in White Satin offers an efficient but evocative analysis of persistent historical currents that have shaped humanity but could possibly lead to our demise. It is a must-read for fans and scholars of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?s masterpiece, The Little Prince.

Enjoy the museum, but beware of Exhibit 666.
