Among the great history of science fiction writing there exists firmly the legacy of Philip K. Dick. The themes of Dick's work explore the gamut of sociological, political and metaphysical. Dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states, Dick's works are well known as the source material for some of the greatest science fiction movies of all time including «Blade Runner,» «Total Recall,» «A Scanner Darkly,» and «Minority Report.» This collection pulls together many of his early short stories. Included in this volume are the following stories: «Beyond Lies the Wub», «The Skull», «The Gun», «The Eyes Have It», «Tony and the Beetles», «Mr. Spaceship», «The Defenders», «Piper in the Woods», «Second Variety», «The Variable Man», «The Hanging Stranger», «Beyond the Door», and «The Crystal Crypt.»

“It has taken thousands of generations to achieve,” the A-class leady concluded. “Hundreds of centuries of bloodshed and destruction. But each war was a step toward uniting mankind. And now the end is in sight: a world without war. But even that is only the beginning of a new stage of history.”
Stark terror ruled the Inner-Flight ship on that last Mars-Terra run. For the black-clad Leiters were on the prowl … and the grim red planet was not far behind.
