At once comic and thought provoking, futuristic yet recognisably contemporary, it has shades of both Arthur C Clarke and G I Gurdjieff.

One of them addresses the United Nations via telepathy, announcing that his race's motive in coming to Earth is to aid humanity by sharing their advanced technology. After answering questions, the Kanamit departs without comment and leaves a book in the Kanamit language, which leads to Michael Chambers, a US government cryptographer , getting pressed into service.

Initially wary of an alien race who came "quite uninvited", international leaders begin to be persuaded of the Kanamits' benevolence when their advanced technology puts an end to hunger , energy shortages, and nuclear proliferation. Trust in the Kanamits seems to be justified when Patty, a member of the cryptography staff led by Chambers, decodes the title of the Kanamit book: The Kanamits submit to interrogation and polygraph , at the request of the UN delegates. When declaring their benevolent intentions, the polygraph indicates that the Kanamit is speaking the truth.

Soon, humans are volunteering for trips to the Kanamits' home planet, which they describe as a paradise. Kanamits now have embassies in every major city on Earth. With the Cold War ended, the code-breaking staff has no real work to do, but Patty is still trying to work out the meaning of the text of To Serve Man.

The day arrives for Chambers's excursion to the Kanamits' planet. Just as he mounts the spaceship's boarding stairs, Patty runs toward him in great agitation.

While being held back by a Kanamit guard, Patty cries: Chambers, don't get on that ship! The rest of the book To Serve Man , it's Michael Chambers's ship quarters are a cot in a spartan interior. A voice offers him a meal, delivered through a small aperture in the wall. Chambers throws it to the floor, but a Kanamit retrieves it and encourages him to eat, to keep Chambers from "losing weight". At last Chambers says to the audience: You still on Earth, or on the ship with me?

Featuring a rich tapestry of colourful characters and mind bending situations, the reader is kept on their toes continually. Part adventure story, part treatise, it seeks to debunk the myth of Christianity and hold up a light for the truth, by exploring how we became what we became, and how we might, in the future, find our own spectacular way out of our conundrum, and find answers to what ails us. At once comic and thought provoking, futuristic yet recognisably contemporary, it has shades of both Arthur C Clarke and G I Gurdjieff. I found it genuinely interesting and most engaging.

The notion of an entity that traverses states and time and recurs repeatedly in differing realities. Maybe even Doctor Who.

Touches of Greek gods going on as well. The historical characters could be developed more I feel to balance the unfolding story better. Still, a good vehicle for reflecting upon and discorsing over human kinds considerable shortcomings.
