But, as he works out his murderous grudge, Gully Foyle also uncovers a secret of momentous proportions ...

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Alfred Bester (1913-87) was born in New York and educated at the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia. He was a scriptwriter and journalist by profession but he set the science fiction world alight with The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination and his extraordinary short stories in the 1950s, and blazed a trail for the sf New Wave of the 1960s and the cyberpunk writers of the 1980s.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

One of the very best must-read SF novels of all time.
