Sturgeon in Orbit Author:Theodore Sturgeon From secret corners of the human mond to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, Theodore Sturgeon ventures to the very limits of consciousness. He explores the soul and finds madness and beauty, horror and enchantment. He explores the universe and describes danger and heroism, romance and high adventure. His people are real, vivid... more », and alive, from the weak and the poor to the bizarre and the super-powerful. His places are exotic and alien. In this volume Sturgeon is at his very best--as an observer of believable men and women caught in the strangeness of other worlds and the distant future.
Strange people in the worlds of Theodore Sturgeon...the woman who kept mad, blind faith in the goodness of her lover--a man who was betraying the whole world to the forces of ultimate destruction; the biochemist who desperately tried to control the drug he had invented--a chemical that turned love into a killer disease that would ravage the planet; the creature from space that committed suicide out of affection for the human whose mind had invaded; and others, uniquely memorable, fascinatingly unexpected.
