THE TIME MACHINE
had brought together a strange assortment of people from many different centuries and left them at the mercy of the strongest - a brutal, primitive half-man, half-animal.  Jim Pendrake was caught up in the machine, and began a frantic chase that carried him to the ends of the earth and beyond... to a world where, he learned, another of the Oaf's prisoners was a woman named Eleanor - Pendrake's wife.

NULL-A THREE

One of the immortal classics of science fiction is A E, Van Vogt's The World of Null-A.  Published in the Golden Age of SF, it shook the science fiction world with its astounding hero, Gilbert Gosseyn, who apparently could not be killed, and with its presentation of General Semantics as applied to the future of all humanity.
An SF landmark, in print to this day, it was followed by an equally remarkable sequel.  Now, in response to the myriad admirers of these ground-breaking concepts, Van Vogt has written the third and last book in the Null-A universe.

Meet again Gilbert Gosseyn, the man with the extra brain who staved off disaster for the Solar System, as he finds himself launched on his greatest challenge - a showdown with the originators of cosmic civilization.

NULL-A-THREE is destined to become an instant classic - a mind-boggling galaxy-spanning adventure!

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.

THE MEN, THE WOMEN
- AND THE ALIENS!

It is a world of the future where women are the dominant sex and men wear chemically treated glasses to keep them in line.  But Dr. Peter Grayson has accidentally discovered the key to his chains - an unnoticeable crack in his rose-colored glasses that liberates him from the tyranny of women.

Suddenly, Grayson is virile, he is powerful, women notice him, want him - he is alive!

But, unknown to him, his liberation is being monitored - by dangerous underground revolutionaries who want his powers to help overthrow the extra-planetary masters of the world, the Utt!

THE SILKE
is a man-like being that can move through space, water, or on land with equal ease.  THE SILKIE can think like a computer, and read minds.  THE SILKIE can communicate etherically, or change form to suit changing circumstances.

But are the Silkies all that is claimed?  Are they truly man's creations and servants - or are they a super-race of scouts controlled by anti-human aliens?

The Silkies themselves do not know....

Who is Gosseyn?

Gilbert Gosseyn didn't know his own identity.  He knows only that he could be killed, yet live again.  But someone - or something - knew who Gosseyn was - and was using him as a pawn in a deadly game that held the fate of the Galaxy in the balance!

"Without doubt one of the most exciting, continuously complex and richly patterned science fiction novels ever written!"
