ny new book by that
classic master of sf A. E. Van Vogt is an event sure to
warrant headlines in the mental news-recorders of science
fiction readers. For what Van Vogt has to tell, the ideas
that are sure to be unusual and original, the things that
can spark the imagination in ways no other writers can
approach, is always worth waiting for.
Here again in PENDULUM the master displays his amazing
technique in scenes dealing with alienbeings and their
alien minds, in concepts of the future of humanity of
androids and null-A operatives, of the present, the
future, and even the astonishing past.
