COVER
TEXT:
Philip José Farmer
demonstrates, in these three short novels, the ability that has made
him one of America's best-selling science fiction authors. He succeeds
with remarkable skill in blending excitement and humor with sheer
imagination in this splendid demonstration of his talent. "The Alley
Man": the last living Neanderthal Man, grubbing out a living from the
garbage heaps that covers the earth. "The Captain's Daughter": unknown
illness strikes aboard a spaceship and the ship's doctor discovers a
strange parasite that lives on sexual excitement. "The God Business":
things go wrong in a modern Olympus and the U.S. Marines find
themselves defeated by nudists with water pistols and a strange
superbaby.
