. Synopsis: Their bodies were colored lights; their voices were music. But whatever they touched was incinerated! For a moment in time their destructive powers were limited to a small portion of Earth. Yet they were determined to burn the whole planet to a crisp. Was there no hope for man's survival? As a last resort Boraston is projected into a future where the Diabols have almost won. Only a few humans remain, struggling to stay alive by holding the Diabols off with skirmishes and holding actions. Can Boraston devise a method to destroy them? If he succeeds, Earth can plan to save itself from the Diabols. If he fails, Earth was doomed to become nothing more than a charred and blackened cinder in the galaxy!
