Also known as Eden. The revised edition was published in 1998.
As dawn breaks over Glastonbury, England, an
unearthly black cloud swallows the ancient town, leaving only a
primordial swamp... In Mesopotamia, Frances Devereux, doctor and psychic, is swallowed by a similar cloud and finds herself trapped in an 'unreal' world where she
and her two male companions descend into a primitive
orgy of violence, sex and, eventually, murder. Escaping from that
world, back to 'reality', Frances then embarks on an
extraordinary voyage of discovery... and self-discovery.
First
published in 1986, reprinted by New English Library,
London, in 1998, Eden is a powerfully erotic novel that also offers a unique take on the subject of
alien contact.
