Product Description

Product Description
First, Gino Molinari was assassinated by a political Rival. Then he died of a heart attack. But now he is back, younger and more vigorous than ever, giving Earth new hope of survival in the war against the alien reegs. But is this really Molinari, or a robant masquerading as Earth's overlord? Whatever the truth, only he can save the Solar System - if he can stay alive long enough, or at least not stay dead for too long.

Dick got there first' -- Terry Gilliam

5.0 out of 5 stars Time travel galore, and I understood it !, 9 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is a fabulous novel, easily on a par with Martian Time Slip. Dick seems to have a thing for creating dichotomous realities in all of his novels I have read so far, both time travelling induced as in this book, and drug induced as in 'A Scanner Darkly'. The real genius of his work is that he manages to make it all totally understandable - I had no problem keeping up with the time travelling adventures of the main character, and was literally on the edge of my seat on many occasions because I couldn't wait to see how the various story strands would thread together by the end of the book. It will give anyone who likes the common SF idea of altering the present by changing the past plenty to think about, with a few new twists thrown in for good measure. This is an absolutely brilliant novel, and I would recommend it to anybody as the perfect introduction to Philip K. Dick.

5.0 out of 5 stars SF NOVELS OPUS NINETEEN, 5 Feb 2003
By wdanthemanw "wdanthemanw" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Now Wait for Last Year (Paperback)
This novel has been published in 1966 and belongs to the best books of Philip K. Dick. The themes treated in NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR are not a surprise for those of us who have read the precedent books of the american writer. But, in this book, Philip K. Dick succeeds perfectly in the alchemy of the plot.

An alien invasion that is never happening, a commander in chief of the Earth population who could be a simulacra, a dangerous drug that is altering time and reality, an average character who has to act as an hero in order to save the humanity : all these themes have already been treated by Philip K. Dick. But not with so much empathy - a fundamental word in PKD vocabulary - in the description of the feelings of his characters.

In my opinion, the relation between Eric and Katharine Sweetscent, the doctor and his drug-addicted wife, marks a turning point in the evolution of Dick's literary skills. Hate, Love, Regrets and Empathy hadn't been until then so masterfully painted under Dick's pen.

NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR is one of PKD's books that could let you enter the unique imaginary world of this american writer. Don't hesitate to open the door.

A book for your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grab!, 11 Dec 2000
Frast, frantic, twists and turns galore... typical early PKD. This is definately one of his best works: sympathetic, well writen characers, an interesting plot that centers on the question of racism and how we choose who to trust. Not as morbid as his later works, this is a great first PKD read
