Description
In a future where instantaneous travel via 'jaunting' is commonplace, a brutal and uneducated space salvager named Gully Foyle embarks on a relentless quest for revenge. Fueled by a burning desire to understand why his distress signal was ignored, Foyle transforms himself from a nobody into a force of nature. This explosive narrative explores themes of identity, societal stratification, and the corrupting influence of power, all within a vividly imagined, anarchic universe. Bester's signature blend of high-octane action and profound philosophical inquiry makes this a landmark of science fiction literature.
