Critic Reviews

"'Worlds of Origin': A mystery novel and a fine example of Vance's trademark imagination with worlds and customs of alien origin. No less than a dozen wholly unique Vance worlds come to light during Magnus Ridolphs' inquiry into the mysterious death of a man on a space-station retreat. 'The Men Return': [A] completely alien earth where our universal rule of cause and effect no longer has any meaning and only the insane flourish in the new dynamics." (Amazon reviewer "Coriolous")
