A brilliant, new novel of a science-created super-race. By the author of Slan, The Universe Maker, etc. SYNOPSIS: How would you create a superman? That's the key to this startling new novel by the master original thinker of science-fiction, A. E. Van Vogt. For The Silkie was a being that could move through space, water, or on land with equal ease, could think like a computer, communicate etherically, and change form to suit changing circumstances. But were the Silkies all that was claimed for them? Were they truly man's own creations as heirs and helpers--or were they "ringers" from some unknown outer-space world or some anti-humanity conspiracy? The Silkies themselves did not know...and that's what makes this action-packed utterly unusual novel great. It's Van Vogt's first new novel in many years. - and - THE SILKIE - A bullet-shaped living spaceship, impervious to intense cold and intense heat, undisturbed by cosmic radiation and impacting meteorites, and able to travel from world to world at astronautic speeds. THE SILKIE - A handsome man (or woman) like any other human being, able to transmit and receive thoughts, with an intelligence higher than Einstein's, and yet an emotional flesh-and-blood human. THE SILKIE - A fishlike being, able to breathe water and move through the oceans with the ease of a dolphin and the speed of a shark. THE SILKIE - Superman? Super-thing? A Frankenstein construction? Computerized demon? Or cunning invader from outer space? THE SILKIE - Friend of Earth--or this world's most dangerous foe? Let A. E. Van Vogt tell you the answers in his new novel, a new classic of super-science fiction.. Mass Market Paperback. Good.
