This book is sometimes entitled "The Book of Ptah." ( ) An interesting point about this book is that though this book continued to be published under both titles (The Book of Ptath and Two hundred million A.D.), the author acknowledges only the first title in his own comprehensive listing of his works, and never mentions the second. Too bad van Vogt's not around to ask.

Too bad van Vogt's not around to ask. Like many of Van Vogt's novels this first appeared in shorter form in the early forties. Set some two hundred million years in the future, it is a variation on the superhuman hero theme that Van Vogt employed in many of his novels (see Gilbert Gosseyn in The World of Null-A for one of the best examples). Here we have man reincarnated by a god and sent to the future. With multiple personalities, super-human strength and a faulty memory. This is a sort of truly fantastic science fiction that Van Vogt exemplified and I enjoyed during my college reading escapes in my Van Vogt period. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
The god Ptath is flung into the far future by a deadly rival and given the mind of a 20th century man. Stranded in this alien world, he must fight to regain his powers before the rival goddess sends the world spinning into chaos and darkness. "Van Vogt's work has a raw power that has never been equalled in science fiction".--Damon Knight. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
