3.0 out of 5 stars skullduggery and politics -- out of this world, 31 Aug 2002
By wosel (Nairn, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire of the Atom: The First Book of the Mutant Mage (Collier Nucleus Science Fiction Classic) (Paperback)
The war of the atom has destroyed the world... History and the historical records had been lost; the few people remaining of the war that went untidy do not remember still what had begun the atomic destruction.

But still these desperate circumstances would not be able to change the basic nature of man. Out of the charred ruins came one, Clane, who was stronger and more determined than the sheeplike majority. And of his plans to govern the universe grew the seeds of the last magnificent war of all the one that does - finally and for always - wipes man off the face of the Earth.

This novel concerns a distant future Earth, thousands of years after the advanced civilization has been destroyed in a catastrophe of the unknown origin. The creations of the modern science remain (space travel) and exist alongside with primitive technologies, and the Earth continues the old wars of domination with human cultures in Mars and Venus.

This is the story of a mutant of the name Clane, of the royal family. Clane sadly sports a body warped by radiation, and the story is of his efforts to improve the society. As usual for Van Vogt, characters are not fully fleshed out. Developed characters? No way! Here they are as cardboard, or cartoon animation; when Van Vogt goes to describe characters on paper he produces his trusty crayon, but at times the book has proof of Van Vogt healthy imagination.

If you can ignore the poor writing, this is colossal book which may wipe your mind clean.
