The fantastic invasion

Description

Throughout this century dozens of strange religious movements have flared up in the South Pacific. In them a prophet announces the end of the world, when a god will appear bringing all the goods people desire. The goods (cargo) fail to appear and the cult dies out. All except one. In Tanna, where they worship America, John Frum's predictions came true and the cult is now 50 years old.
