SYNOPSIS: Science Fiction has always explored the exciting vistas of human experience, but never before so daringly as in this new book of futuristic adventures in transcendental realms. Editor Terry Carr has assembled three never-before-published novellas by science fiction's major writers - three vastly different views of what might happen when rational, scientific man comes into contact with the realities of future religious experience. The Feat of St. Dionysus tells of an astronaut who discovers the strange City of Light and becomes a convert to a startling new religion. 'Kjwalll'kje'k'koothailll'kje'k describes spiritual ecstasy as it might be experienced by a form of life entirely different from us. My Brother Leopold is a dramatic story of a man of tomorrow who has felt a higher Presence and of his attempts to relate his vision to Earthly reality. These are science-fiction adventures designed to amaze and fascinate you. They will also provide rich food for thought.. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hard Cover. Very Good/Good.
