Grandmaster A. E. van Vogt was one of the giants of the Golden Age of classic SF, the 1940s. Of his masterpieces, "The World of Null-A" is perhaps most influential. It was the first major trade SF hardcover ever, in 1949, and has been in print ever since. The careers of Philip K. Dick, Keith Laumer, Alfred Bester, Charles Harness, and Philip Jose Farmer were created or influenced by "The World of Null-A". It is required reading for anyone who wishes to know the canon of SF classics.And so John C. Wright was inspired to write a sequel to the two novels of "Null-A" (the second was "The Players of Null-A"). To do this, he trained himself to write in the pulp style and manner of van Vogt. So return again to the Null-A future, in which the man with two brains, Gilbert Gosseyn, now discovers his third brain and travels through heretofore unimaginable distances in space and in time to fend off the death of the Universe and the extermination of human life as humanity reaches the peak of evolution millions of years in the future.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. For anyone who wants to know what true science fiction writing is, they must turn to the work of A. E. van Vogt, whose books published in the heyday of science fiction, the 1940's, still hold the same masterful power over the public's wildest imagination. John C. Wright, inspired by the writing of van Vogt, has sought to continue the classic writer's most classic work, and in his 'Null-A Continuum' it is quite possible that he has done justice to the lauded 'The World Of Null-A'. All of the same characters are still there: the superhuman Gilbert Gosseyn whose double brain assists in his battle against galactic dictator, Enro the Red. With the same van Vogt style and a few twists, it's a great read. N° de réf. du vendeur 1704755
