Description de l’éditeur
#5 in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written.
“Science fiction has only produced a few works of actual genius, and this is one of them.”
—Joe Haldeman
"Bester at the peak of his powers is, quite simply, unbeatable” —James Lovegrove
Marooned in outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had intended to leave him to die. When it comes to pop culture, Alfred Bester (1913-1987) is something of an unsung hero. He wrote radio scripts, screenplays, and comic books (in which capacity he created the original Green Lantern Oath). But Bester is best known for his science-fiction novels, and The Stars My Destination may be his finest creation. With its sly potshotting at corporate skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary, and has maintained its status as an underground classic for fifty years.
(Bester fans should also note that J.Boylston & Company, Publishers has reprinted The Demolished Man, which won the very first Hugo Award in 1953.)
