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 over 50 years.

When you read this you understand why it is named as a trailblazer for authors like Gibson. Brutal but inspired and with surprising depth and gentleness at times. Recommended!

Starts out rather slow but boy does it pick up speed. Great ideas well executed. That’s how I love sci-fi!
