4.0 out of 5 stars
Not one of his best, but still VAN-VOGT.
This is a well-built book. Allthough not one of those crazy, mind-blowing, and half psichodellic books that van-vogt often unleashes at us, its a good one. It has the tipical plot twists and lead charecter that makes you think-" Damn! now that's a man!", and ofcourse a few females that cant be trusted. Buy it if youre a van-vogt fan or if you want to...

A little slow but well worth reading
Though this is by no means Van's best novel - written as it was at the forefront of his second wave of output that peaked in the 70s - the brilliant and unexpected turns in the last few chapters of the book make the sometimes dull plot worth enduring.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not really worth reprinting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mind Cage (Masters of Science Fiction) (Paperback)
Van Vogt is known for his prolific output of mediocre stuff. This book is a real van Vogt as per style and per themes, but it is pretty run of the mill. Even in the classics (Slan, Isher, Null-A, The Silkie) there are weaknesses. Weaknesses abound here, not really worth reading.
