Ludwig Pallmann was an international salesman for machinery to pulverize grain, who travelled widely and spoke several languages. While in India, he encountered a mysterious man on a train who had the "light brown skin of a Eurasian, huge dark eyes, a rather small mouth, and an unusual chin line. The lower part of the jaw looked slightly deformed. Above all, there was this peculiarity of speech, this complete reliance upon an electronic gadget to reproduce his voice." The two started chatting, and later met up again, in India, and later, when Pallmann was selling machinery to finely grind the yucca root in Peru.Eventually, the mystery man takes Pallmann on a train ride to Huancayo. Then they travel to a lake, where a UFO glides to the edge. Pallmann takes a trip to an alien plantation, where Amazon plants are being harvested and hybridized. He learns about the "cosmophilosophy" of the humanoid aliens, which is of a pacifist, vegetarian, socialist nature. Pallman is informed that man's highest duty is to protect women and children from violence. There is also a trip to a "lost city," Linislan, somewhere northeast of Cuzco.The author vanished and the publisher went out of business soon after the book's release, adding to the mystery.This special edition features an introduction by ufology legend Wendelle Stevens.
