Noah Lammock (H. G. Wells) recognizes that mankind is on the ragged edge of annihilation, a puzzled, powerful old liberal turns up who says he is God Almighty. He is. He and Noah proceed to an entertaining exegesis of the Old Testament, the problem of evil, the possibilities of redemption, all of which is as fresh and stimulating as Captain Storm field's Visit to Heaven. Together they begin to plan an Ark in which all that is propitious for a new world may be saved. God will be allowed aboard, but there is no guarantee that He will...

When Super-Politician Adolf Hitler dictated his-armistice terms to a shattered France last June he undoubtedly planned to proceed by the rule he laid down in Mein Kampf: "A shrewd conqueror will always enforce his exactions on the conquered only by stages.
