The Flies of Memory
by Ian Watson
"We have come to your planet to remember it."
So say the insectoid aliens who arrived one day in their pyramid-ship. Although they speak both English and Russian, and the human team sent to communicate with them includes an expert on body language, the meaning of their words remains tantalisingly obscure.
And then things start to disappear, The Dome of St Peter's is the first to go. Whole cities begin to follow.
It's not long before a desperate band of pilgrims are forced to embark on a bizarre journey to Mars - in search of the city of Munich.
