My favorites were “Guyal of Sfere,” one of the first of the “Dying Earth” stories, which follows a young man in the far future seeking the mythical Museum of Man; and “Noise,” which tells of a space castaway stranded on a strangely beautiful planet which just may be inhabited by ephemeral beings. “The Miracle Workers” is a gimmick story (science has become magic, and magic has become science) that works reasonably well nonetheless; “The New Prime” tells of a far future contest to become ruler of the galaxy, a contest with a surprise ending for a typical Vance protagonist.
I thought the weakest of the bunch was “Telek,” which followed the story of a group of normal men who battle the self appointed new telekinesis-endowed aristocracy of earth, but even this story raised at least one thought-provoking issue and provided a pre-Casino Royale prototype for later Vance protagonists like Kirth Gersen (the Demon Princes) and Adam Reith (Planet of Adventure), whom I had previously thought of as patterned on Ian Fleming's famous spy.
Good stuff. ( )
