It has a horrible style and plots that do not logically follow: yet his books work. Some SF critic (I think it was either Knight or Delany) said that problem any SF critic needs to solve was not showing what was wrong with van Vogt"s style (any bright high school student could do that) but figuring out why it worked. [C] == Short Story Collection. [O] == Omnibus. Includes other books. aka == Also known by this other title. /John arpa: JWenn.ESAE@Xerox.com withoutchemicalslifeitselfwouldbeimpossible-ly --------------------------------------------------------------------- van Vogt, A[lfred] E[lton] [Canada, U.S.A., 4/26/1912- ] The Weapon Shop Series: The Weapon Shops of Isher [1951] The Weapon Makers [1946] [aka "One Against Eternity"] The Null-A Series: The World of Null-A [1948] The Players of Null-A [1956] [aka "The Pawns of Null-A"] Null-A Three [1985] The Clane Series: Empire of the Atom [1957] The Wizard of Linn [1962] The Masters of Time [1950] [split into:] Earth's Last Fortress [1960] [aka "Masters of Time"] The Changeling [1967] Triad [1959] [O] [contains "The World of Null-A"] Slan [1946] [supermen] The Voyage of the Space Beagle [1950] [aka "Mission: Interplanetary"] The Three Eyes of Evil & Earth's Last Fortress [1973] [O] The Universe Maker & The Proxy Intelligence [1976] [O] The Book of Ptath [1947] [aka "Two Hundred Million A.D."] [aka "Ptath"] The House that Stood Still [1950] [aka "The Mating Cry"] [aka "Undercover Aliens"] The Mixed Men [1952] [aka "Mission to the Stars"] Away and Beyond [1952] [C] Destination: Universe!
