Product Description

 
This classic science fiction novel, winner of the 1953 Hugo Award, presents a futuristic view of the Earth in which telepaths avert crimes before they occur. In 2031, one man--his life falling apart--dares to commit the ultimate crime, one police detective tries to piece together some hard evidence beyond his own preternatural knowledge, and a society hangs on the verge of anarchy.

THE PROBLEM IS ?THE STARS??

Date of Review:  May 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: A must-read for SF fans and ?Whodunit? aficionados

CLEVER-UP AND READ BESTER
