[QUOTE="spiney, post: 155946, member: 192438"] TG, that sounds like "More Than Human" by Theodore Sturgeon. Maybe not, but probably is. Got a copy, but haven't read it! Personally, I find him a bit unreadable. But he's famous as "Kilgore Trout", in Kurt Vonnegut's novels (why Vonnegut picked on him - in particular - I've no idea!). [URL="http://home.earthlink.net/~cjk5/sturgeon.html"]http://home.earthlink.net/~cjk5/sturgeon.html[/URL] . For Kilgore Trout: [URL="http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4953/trout.html"]www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4953/trout.html[/URL] . Sorry about Cordwainer, yes he's very good, it's just that I personally don't like him (with Sci Fi, it's about books you enjoy!). I'm afraid I don't like Clarke either, including Childhood's End (a novel much admired by C S Lewis!). I think Clarke's best are Glide Path (historical) and A Fall of Moondust (thriller, with sci fi trappings). [/QUOTE]
