4.0 out of 5 stars
Cracking story by Pohl,
This review is from: A PLAGUE OF PYTHONS (Mass Market Paperback)
I had a hard time tracking down a copy of this, but I finally did and am glad that I took the bother.It's a story of two halves, and strongly promotes the old adage that 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'. The first half of the story leads you to believe that people in a post-apocalyptic world are being attacked by 'fire-spirits', which possess the hosts to take over their bodies to perform all sorts of nasty and sinful acts. Once the plot begins to resolve itself, it becomes apparent that this is not necessarily so. Without revealing the premise of the second half, the plot does twist and takes a different direction. A good example of Pohl writing well. Not his best work, but very entertaining.

Where can I get it ?,
This review is from: A PLAGUE OF PYTHONS (Mass Market Paperback)
A Frederick Pohl classic. A small group of people acquire the ability to control others by taking them over, and operating them like remote machines. Soon the term "possessed" becomes a legal defence against any crime - unless you are caught and outcast as a "hoaxer" - Pohl establishes this structure and develops a highly personalised account of one man's travels. both in and out of body, in this altered society. Where can I get it ?
