About “The Pastel City”
The Pastel City (1971) is a novel set in the declining civilization of Viriconium, where medieval social structures coexist with forgotten advanced technology and superscience energy weapons. The story follows Lord tegeus-Cromis, a self-proclaimed poet who becomes a reluctant leader in the defense of the Pastel City against the brain-stealing automatons known as the geteit chemosit. The narrative centers on the clash between tradition and decay, as the city's inhabitants struggle to maintain order amid the erosion of knowledge and the encroachment of existential threats.
