it was ok
bookshelves: audiobook, easton-press, minders, 1930-1953, supermen, mystery, thriller

1.5 to 2.0 stars. While certainly an important "classic" science fiction story and worth while for gaining an understanding of the evolution of the science ficiton novel featuring the "superhuman" I did not really enjoy the novel. I am glad I read it and it was in the neighborhood of okay, but can not recommend it.

Leon Aldrich This was among the first novels I read in Jr. High. I remember reading this 2 to 3 times before I graduated high school.

I wonder how I would rate it now?

Stephen I didn't read this until a few years ago and it seemed to have aged badly. However, since I read this I have developed an appreciation for some of Van Vogt's other work so I may give this a re-read at some point to see if my opinion changes.
