The Silkie, another Van Vogt mind blower!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Only my second Van Vogt book, but now I'm hooked. I can't even say I enjoyed the book itself. I certainly enjoy the fact that it left me with such a strong impression of Sci-Fi/Fantasy goodness. Van Vogt is a mind blower, and I regret I did not discover his works earlier in my life. This one is out there in terms of "hard sci-fi" and certainly seemed to tread a more fantasy thread. That's ok though. Van Vogt makes you think. Love his stuff!
One of van-vogt's big-time mind blowers.

THE SILKIE is a clasic in the caliber of SLAN, WORLD OF NULL-A, or EMPIRE OF THE ATOM. Or maybe its even better. I cant really explain how good van vogt can be sometimes, if you dont know his works. Indeed, not all of his books are on the same level, but know this, you who did not read van vogt thus far:He is a mental giant that surpasses asimov and his likes, though i admit that their styles are tottaly different. This book is one of his best. Get it.
A Van Vogt Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a Van Vogt classic! It has all the action adventure, plot twists, and trippy stuff that one would expect from Van Vogt. The only point that keeps this from being 'five star' is that the plot sort of skips a bit at the end. Overall though, this is classic Van Vogt, right up there with Space Beagle and 'Null-A'
