Reviews

When he is shanghaied from Earth to the second moon of the seventh planet of the star Aldebaran, accountant Nolly Stennis loudly demands to be sent home. Then an alien surgeon repairs the damage of an adult case of the mumps, giving ex-opera singer Nolly back his voice and virility. Within days, alien impresarios send him on tour in Don Giovanni with other waylaid human singersto the applause of thousands. Somehow, his return doesn't seem so crucial anymore. Until, that is, his fellow abductees explain what's in store for those who don't cooperate. Pohl's vigorous narrative voice makes the brisk opening a grabber. In the slower middle section, he uses the reader's interest in his characters to once again pose a moral dilemma in vivid images, most memorably in the monstrous executioner who turns out to be Nolly's doctor.

When two performing artists die unexpectedly after accepting an offer for a worldwide tour, former singer Nolly Stennis follows a trail of coincidence and sinister occurrences to its source, a mysterious organization known as Narabedla Ltd., and embarks on a journey beyond his wildest dreams. Conspiracy theories and alien-race kidnappings get their comeuppance in sf veteran Pohl's latest novel. Recommended for sf collections. JC
