Product Description
Gallegher was a genius. He'd start with a twist of wire and an odd notion or two, and come up with something never before known - something like a robot that thought that the most beautiful thing in the world was its own innards. Or a machine that ate dirt and sang bawdy songs. The trouble was, Gallegher's genius worked only when he was drunk. Once sober again, he could never figure out just what it was his gadgets were supposed to do; whether it was opening a can of beer - or saving the world.
Henry Kuttner & C.L.Moore formed the most popular writing team in science fiction for twenty years, until Kuttner's untimely death at the age of 43.
First paperback edition of 1952 Gnome Press hardcover original, as by Lewis Padgett (pen name used by writing team of Kuttner and his wife, C. L. Moore). This Lancer edition is published as by Henry Kuttner, and has a new introduction by C. L. Moore, in which she states '...not a word of any of them is mine'. Collects five stories: The Proud Robot, Gallegher Plus, The World is Mine, Ex Machina, and Time Locker, originally published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1943 and 1948.
