In a post-apocalyptic world, telepaths are common, but young Starn had
no trace of telepathic ability, and was persecuted by those who had the
talent – until he discovered he possessed an even more unusual ability.
A criminal mastermind has been captured by the Space Patrol, and a
Patrol ship is carrying him to a prison planet. Escape seems
impossible, but he has a secret weapon. It's only water – but water with
a very unusual property.
In the afterlife, it
turns out that one's existence is dependent on being remembered by the
living. As you are forgotten, you shrink. How do you avoid this? Why,
hire an unearthly public relations firm, of course.
These stories and more, including two full-length novels, fill a large
volume of entertaining space adventure and humorous fantasy. Inventive
by a writer noted for original ideas developed with a sardonic wit.
