A fairly entertaining story, though the "meat" of it doesn't last long and the ending is a quick let-down. Follow along as our hero rescues a damsel in distress from cyborgs on a shrunken planet.

An entertaining story, but way too trite an ending. A young man is totally immersed in a full-sensory "movie". He returns to reality, and heartache...and hope.

What an utter waste of time. I don't see how the prior reviewer got anything out of this, and to say the ending was dazzling - he must have been on serious illicit stimulants.

This is a story in which NOTHING HAPPENS.

The more I read by Del Rey, the less I'm impressed by him. This story is nothing more than a character jumping around all over the place at random, people appearing and disappearing, and nothing making any sense at all.

The explanation for the silliness is given at the end of the story, but it makes the reading no more enjoyable.

Predictable. If this site allowed one-word reviews, I would have left it at that.

A horrible mess of plot-less, jumbled writing. Difficult to follow at first, then you kind of suspect where everything is going, and then it goes there with very little surprise. Basically, the "power of the people" - their thoughts/wishes - causes things to happen as if they were a group of successful witches. Utterly boring in execution.

Such a good premise, and some fairly good writing. But, the author blows it with a horribly unsatisfying ending.

Basically, yet-another-time-travel-story. However, it was done well enough to keep it interesting until the crash and burn ending.

The previous reviewer got it all right except for the rating - a "1" at best. Terribly boring story that is not sci fi. This is just a romp through the patent world. Ugh.

A rather interesting story premise that kind of wanders into nothing at the end.

Earthmen must determine who is the imposter among them, and it turns out there's not much interesting that goes on to do so.

The start of the story is a little misleading in that it seems comical and superficial, but then it settles down into a bit better sci-fi. There are hints of the ending through the story, but when it comes, it's a real disappointment. Trite, in fact.

Ugly but benign creatures from another dimension are flooding Earth. How do you sell the populace on that?
