FROM THE PUBLISHER - WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS! Jack Hamilton had always thought the world secure until that day when a swarm of locusts descended upon him after he had told a white lie! He realized only then that the accident at the Bevatron had changed the natural laws of the universe. The world had become a place where the EYE IN THE SKY could strike at all who displeased it! And it wasn't fantasy - there was a valid key to this incredible change locked in scientific law - if one could survive long enough to find it. Philip K. Dick, whose previous novels have won wide acclaim, has produced in this new book one which will be ranked tops in modern science-fiction. inventory #31772
