Meer over het boek

Sturgeon's people: Jokey - a bright kid, full of fun ... he can make you do anything he wants ... Osser - the strongest man in his world, driven to fulfill a dream of ancient glory revived - even though he got it all wrong ... Patty - it wasn't her fault she had trouble finding the right rhyme for the death-spell .... Dad - for a man who can build a crystal set inside a peanut, radio contact with Mars shouldn't be much of a problem ... Nobody but Ted Sturgeon could have created these unique characters - and the others who throng these masterful stories of science fiction and fantasy. Until now available only in scattered magazines and anthologies, these pieces are here brought together for the first time in a collection by a writer hailed as the outstanding master of fantastic fiction.
