Transgalactic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is A.E. Van Vogt at his peak of power, the twists and turns of the action come at a headlong pace. I had read these when in the late 40's-early 50's, I was an avid reader of ASF. For anyone looking to capture the "Golden Years" can do no worse than starting with this collection. Art
Great Classic, small women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
To own Transgalactic by A. E. Van Vogt is to own a classic from the "classical age" of Science Fiction. A compendium of novels and short stories written around a common theme of aliens from outer space, this thick book is a page burner and it was only when I was well into the second novel that I realized that van Vogt could only write about scheming women and even then avoided women characters like a plague. But the volume was fun to read.
