The first in a ten-volume collection of work by the writer who inspired Gene Roddenberry, Ray Bradbury, and Stephen King, "The Ultimate Egoist" brings together Theodore Sturgeon's earliest pieces.
"The prank that almost destroyed the universe." "It started as a practical joke thrown into a scientific experiment. But the powers it unleashed were awesome and incredible, catapulting Chuck and Jerry together with beautiful Sally and mysterious Old John into the farthest regions of space." "From the bloodsucking Titanians and the flesh-devouring Garnishee, to the mighty Slug-Togath of Proxima Centauri, the more they fought evil the more it seemed to grow, even to possess them in the form of the invisible Lortonoi, engulfing them all in a wild and terrifying cosmic nightmare."--BOOK JACKET.
Hounded by creditors and heckled by an uncooperative robot, binge-drinking inventor Galloway Gallegher must solve the mystery of his own machines before his reckless lifestyle catches up with him. Kuttner's five classic "Gallegher" stories present the author at the height of his imaginative genius.
