The Watcher has spent his entire life scanning the depths of space for alien invaders. As he travels to Roum with the beautiful Flier Avluela and Gormon the Changeling, the invaders finally arrive, and his world is turned upside down. As the conquerors take control of Earth, the Watcher, now jobless, becomes a student, then a pilgrim, as he begins a long journey to find Avluela - and himself.
More than 30 years after it was originally published, Robert Silverberg's Hugo Award-winning novella 'Nightwings' is available once again. The new edition, which has been re-written and re-edited by Silverberg, features an introduction by the author himself as he candidly talks about the story's origins, political climate in America in 1968, and his volatile relationship with Frederik Pohl, then the editor of 'Galaxy' magazine.
