Invader on My Back [Paperback]

Philip E. High (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2000

In the far future, the world has fallen to chaos with the criminal elements controlling the cities and vast police forces ruling the unknown wilderness beyond. Only one man, unknowingly, holds the key to the state in which society finds itself - a man named Craig. Craig, however, is an outcast, a pariah, feared by organised crime and despised by the police who, despite themselves, are compelled to use him. This is the tale of how Craig fights back - against forces unknown - and of his attempts to reinstate himself into a society that has rejected him.

This review is from: Invader on My Back (Paperback)

Who are you? Are you a Delink -- raised from the cradle as a pathological criminal? Are you a Scuttler -- afraid to look at the sky? Are you a Stinker -- hated on sight by everyone you meet?

Or are you one of the new ones -- a Geek, with abilities and purposes unknown to the rest?

Whoever you are, you'd better find out, and quick, before it's too late for you -- and the rest of the human race!

This is a paraphrase of the original inside cover of this reprint of one of the most memorable Ace SF doubles, INVADER ON MY BACK.

This is simply wonderful science fiction. Philip E. High is able to pack more ideas, concepts, and action into 150 pages than modern authors work into the first 500-pager of their "soon to be epic series".
