The Heaven Makers: Frank Herbert

The Chems were the prisoners of eternity, gripped by the despair that immortality brought. They were strange dwellers in a timeless world, inflicting terror and suffering on the creatures they manipulated. These are super-beings who control men's destinies and derive pleasure from the pain and torture they inflict on these human underlings. Their world is one of infinite possibility and Time is their plaything. Cover art by Bruce Pennington.
