Book Cover & Preview Text
ICARUS: It is once again occurring. Dearest gods in the heavens have pity on your son who calls out to you. Hear one who once stood in your presence in the great Hall of Truth and Light. Hear the disobedient son. Why have I come to be in this forsaken place? Have I fallen into the vestibule of the lower world where there lies only the feeble hope and malice of fatih and the evils of forgiveness? The light? Where has it gome? How long have I been here and toward what end does it signify? I need to take possession of my soul once more to form my being as a man, as a god, as a soul of creation...as an Atlas of the gods.

About the Book
Icarus: The Collected Plays is an excursion into the uniqueness of an individual confronting an indifferent and often hostile universe. A demigod, time travelers, vampires, the pioneers of modern-day rocketry, a magus, two young convicts, an amateur bodybuilder, a murderous alien—misfits, all of them. Each of these fifteen plays is a projection of existence with an unusual main character and those within his sphere of influence. They are the manipulators of a reality of their own creation.
