The fourth novel in Lessing's "Canopus in Argos: Archives" series, a cycle of speculative fiction exploring civilization, evolution, and interstellar influence across time and space. The five books in the series are: "Shikasta" (1979), "The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five" (1980), "The Sirian Experiments" (1981), "The Making of the Representative for Planet 8" (1982), and "The Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire" (1983).
