Paperback. Condition: New. In this classic novel by the Science Fiction Grand Master, a writer searching for explanations uncovers the existence of mutants and multiple Earths: "First-rate Simak" (The New York Times). Author Jay Vickers would like nothing more than to be left alone so he can finish his next book. But "there's something strange going on," as his peculiar neighbor, Horton Flanders, says. For instance, the market is filling with new inventions that supposedly last forever-cars, razors, cigarette lighters, and more. Individuals and whole families are disappearing. Soon, even Mr. Flanders vanishes-but not before leaving Vickers a note. Following Flanders's advice, Vickers travels to his childhood home, where he makes a fantastic discovery. It is a mere child's toy, a brightly colored whistling top. But for Jay Vickers, it leads to other worlds and answers all his questions. What happened to all the vanished people? Who is behind these helpful inventions? And what sort of being would want to stop them. . . ? "Unforgettable." -New York Herald Tribune "Solid entertainment, with plenty of startling plot twists." -The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction "Some of the most ingenious plot twists in recent science-fiction." -Galaxy.

Simak's inventive and warmly regarded novel set in a near-future world where indestructible consumer goods of mysterious origin have upended civilization ? hailed by the New York Herald Tribune as "Easily the best science-fiction novel so far in 1953," and singled out in Brian Aldiss and David Wingrove's Trillion Year Spree as one of Simak's best works alongside his classic City. On the flip side, Cosmic Manhunt follows private investigator Victor Hasselborg, hired to track down a runaway daughter across an alien planet where civilization is only in its early, brawling stages ? classic pulp adventure from one of science fiction's most prolific and imaginative writers. Both authors are SFWA Grand Masters.
