Sobre este artículo
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1948. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket mild wear to spine ends and lower front corner tip, some toning to spine panel and mild dust soiling to rear panel. (31235). Octavo, illustration by Lee Manso, cloth. Signed inscription by Van Vogt on the front free end paper: "With all good / wishes / A. E. Van Vogt." Also affixed to the front paste down is a label with a nice inscription signed by Van Vogt to a well known early fan. "A space-operatic mystery story in its author's best vein, with a hero who seemingly can die and be reborn endlessly (thanks to his 'non-Aristotelian' mental powers). It's dreadful old garbage by any reasonable critical standard, and yet it has a dreamlike conviction which has endeared it to generations of readers. The works of van Vogt, which have provided so much escapist joy, are among the great embarrassments of modern SF." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 427. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1158. Survey of Science Fiction Literature V, pp. 2501-05.
