Standing there, listening to those average Americans clapping so bizarre an event, it was hard to realize that a mere generation ago only a few, hardy science fiction readers could even imagine what has turned out to be the sight of the century.

VAN VOGT


Any new book by that classic master of sf A. E. Van Vogt is an event sure to warrant headlines in the mental news-recorders of science fiction readers.  For what Van Vogt has to tell, the ideas that are sure to be unusual and original, the things that can spark the imagination in ways no other writers can approach, is always worth waiting for.

Here again in PENDULUM the master displays his amazing technique in scenes dealing with alien beings and their alien minds, in concepts of the future of humanity, of androids and null-A operatives, of the present, the future, and even the astonishing past.

It's new, it's by the author of SUPERMIND, THE WEAPON SHOPS OF ISHER, SLAN, and all the myriad masterpieces of a master of science fiction.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
