Ingrid Fleming has always believed a goddess lies buried beneath the forbidding, Devilheaded rockpile atop Devils Tor. But when the pile is shattered in a sudden storm, its her cousin, Hugh Drapier, who enters the newlyrevealed tomb.Drapier has recently arrived from Tibet, where an encounter with the adventurer Henry Saltfleet and the archeologist Stephen Arsinal has left him in possession of a stolen sacred stone, the half of a broken whole, which has the power to induce visions of its arrival on Earth in the early days of primitive humanity.Arsinal believes the stone to be sacred to the Great Mother, and key to a prophecy that will unite a chosen man and woman, and bring about the birth of a new saviour. He and Saltfleet return to England on Drapiers trail, and arrive in Dartmoor just as the machinery of a thousandsyearlong supernatural fate begins its final turnA troubled, troubling, ambitious and difficult work that David Lindsay himself called his monster, Devils Tor answers the imaginative pyrotechnics of Lindsays first novel, A Voyage to Arcturus, with a sustained maturity of insight into the intenselyfelt and deeplyexamined inner lives of its handful of characters, and the fate that has brought them together at the dawn of a new human era.At times irrecoverably tangled in the attitudes of its day, Devils Tor nevertheless builds to a transcendent final vision of the ultimate purpose of human life and suffering.
