 lthough thirty light
years distant, Mittend was Earth's nearest habitable
planet. So the bored young heir, Steven Masters,
contrived to join the first manned expedition just for a
bit of excitement. When he found himself suddenly back on
Earth in another man's body, it was more than he had
expected. What then followed was a veritable kaleidoscope
of events that was to involve him in multiple
personalities, in more expeditions to Mittend, and in the
affairs of the entity called Mother for whom Mittend
itself was just a means to an end-and Steven Masters the
handy next step in a galactic program. It's a brand-new
novel by the Slan-man, the Weapon-Maker of Isher and
Null-A mentor, A. E. VAN VOGT himself . . . with all of
Van Vogt's mind-shaking fireworks and out-of-the-rut
narrative mastery. |
