He discovers that Olivia was kidnapping refugees while on the Vorga, stealing their items, and then abandoning them in deep space. With scholarly lucidity and precision, Wilson shows us that Stars pointed the way to what we have (un)become. With its sly potshotting at corporate skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary, and has maintained its status as an underground classic for over 50 years. A couple of the characters - particularly the women - are written to behave in embarrassingly contradictory ways.Presteign actually has a servant who does nothing but operate an antique telephone switchboard in his study. However, it is painfully obvious that the entire storyline is ripped from The Count of Monte Cristo. With these achievements in your sights, you're ready to venture into the vast expanse of Starfield and make your mark on the universe. Some foxing to prelims, slight spine lean, small tear to bottom of front joint, wraps a bit rubbed and darkened, else a very good, tightly bound example.

Blessed with Suck: Robin is a "Telesend", meaning she can't read people's minds, but can broadcast her thoughts, which often has embarrassing results.Deliberate Values Dissonance: Jaunting has caused the upper class to once again view women as property which must be protected. During this period, Gulliver discovers space-jaunting, a kind of teleportation previously unknown, and because of this new skill he becomes even more of a target. At a later point, NeverEnding Story producer Bernd Eichinger had the rights and hired notable comic book artist Neal Adams to produce concept art. The Stars My Degradation, an early comic strip by Alan Moore (later with writing assistance from Steve) parodies the "Gully Foyle is my name" rhyme in the first installment. All the while his spirit stews in the morass from which his body could escape and he becomes a rapist, thug and purveyor of violence in pursuit of his goal.
