    “Book Descriptions: The Furious Future At last available in paperback after many years out of print, a classic collection of stories which prompted the very highest praise from the leading SF critics.

    If all goes well, he may become the best science fiction writer since Wells - Kingsley Amis, Observer

    The themes cover aliens, time travel psionics, mutations - but treated in a cock-eyed way that is peculiarly Budrys's. A parasitic alien invades Earth, only the humans like it; a girl with psionic abilities is found by others with the talent, yet they must reject her; a man from a survey spaceship lands on a backwards planet, but finds he is incapable of understanding them... a completely unconventional treatment. Result: totally absorbing - Tom Boardman Jr., Books and Bookmen
