So I'v been reading a bit of Van Vogt lately, and I have to say, I'm quite enjoying what I'v read, Future Glitter was a really enjoyable dystopia. Slan, well, I think it goes without saying that it's an unrelenting thriller. Yes, I just said that. I feel he doesn't get as much respect as he...

Just picked this up... it deals with mind control and totalitarian China... any Van Vogt experts have any thoughts?

Supermind was published in 1977, towards the end of Van Vogt’s long writing career, and is a fix-up of three linked novellas featuring a common cast of characters, written with some assistance from James H. Schmitz and Edna Mayne Hull (his first wife). It is set in a future in which humanity has...

I last read The War Against the Rull in the 1960s and liked it enough to hang on to my ancient copy, so I was pleased to renew my acquaintance with it when it was selected for this month's read by the Classic Science Fiction discussion group ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ClassicScienceFiction/...

These books were first published in around 1950 although their content had previously appeared in magazines. They are set some seven thousand years hence in a future in which the Earth is ruled by an Empress with almost absolute power, opposed only by an organisation called "The Weapon Shops"...

I just mooched a copy of this book,hope to receive it soon,but the interesting thing I just found is according to Fantastic Fiction the first third of this novel formed the basis of the original movie Alien! Anyone confirm this?

Alfred Elton van Vogt was a prolific author from SF's postwar golden era. I'm reading Slan at the moment, and I must say it moves at a cracking pace. I've also recently read Rogue Ship and Voyage of the Space Beagle, both assemblages of short stories into a novel, which shows in the narrative...
