Alan Edward Nourse, who also went by the names Edward Alan Nourse, Al Nourse, and Doctor X, was one of the best short stories writers of the Golden Age of sci-fi. Among his many books and stories is the novel Bladerunner.

In this story, an earth colony discovers that their relationship with the mother planet has suddenly changed due to an overthrow of the Earth's government. They decide not to go along with the new totalitarian regime and to declare their independence. They expect a fight for liberty and get it. However, their relationship with the natives of the planet, the "dusties", changes the whole situation in a very dramatic way.

Editorial reviews

Author Alan Edward Nourse is a classic voice in the world of sci-fi. In Image of the Gods, Nourse tells the nail-biting tale of an Earth colony's fight for independence. The trouble begins when Earth's government is overthrown and replaced with a totalitarian government. The colonists, who inhabit a faraway planet, refuse to live by the totalitarian rules of Earth's new government. A group of native inhabitants- nonviolent aliens called "dusties"- help the colonists in this thrilling fight for freedom.

Ben Hurst's voice honors the inflections of Nourse's characters. The audiobook is sure to keep sci-fi fans entertained.
