In the 40s/50s, Charles L. Harness wrote a long work eventually known as THE PARADOX MEN. Recently I read this novel for the first time. Right now I'm looking for folks around here who might have read it. (I should send a note to Damien Broderick--I'll bet he has read it!) It seems to have some elements pointing toward TBOTNS, but aside from that it is a fun read. If you haven't read it yet, I hasten to add that it is not at all in the flavor or mode of TBOTNS. The mode is ala Van Vogt, so if you dislike Van Vogt, you probably won't like this novel. I was led to it by reading Aldiss's SPACE OPERA anthology. =mantis= Sirius Fiction Has Moved To http://www.siriusfiction.com/

(raises a paw) A wonderful book! It reads like a collaboration between van Vogt and a writer. The other things I know by Harness are "The Rose" and, er, you know, that other one with the confused photons. Spectacled Bear, who enjoys vV really.
