Kingsley Amis is one of the more astute critics of science
fiction and recently, while speaking about the mainstream
writer Anthony Burgess and his occasional forays into SF,
Amis said ". . . he's a stylist and that's rare in this field." Quite
true. But we do have lack Vance and his haunting, mood-pos-
sessed visions of the distant future, written in a style that stirs
the reader to reaction and response. Here, in this award
winning story, he once more spins his seductive magic.
