How would you create a superhuman? That the key to this startling new novel by the master original thinker of science-fiction, A.E. van Vogt. For The Silkie was a being that could move through space, water, or on land with equal ease, could think like a computer, communicate etherically, and change form to suit changing circumstances.

But were the Silkies all that was claimed for them? Were they truly man,s own creations as heirs and helpers--or were they "ringers" from some unknown outer-space world of some anti-humanity conspiracy?

The Silkies themselves did not know. . . and that's what makes thus action-packed utterly unusual novel great. It's Van Vogt's first new novel in man years.
