About this book

Odd planet! The bipeds talked from their heads and saw only what lay before them. In short, they were pathetic—and deadly! Lafferty was the winner of the Hugo and World Fantasy Award and a six time Nebula Award Nominee. His quirky style made his work hard to pigeonhole and market, but he still managed to influence a wide array of today’s best writers. Simply on of the best writers the science fiction and fantasy field has ever produced.
