From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. E-Reads is proud to re-publish his acclaimed body of work, with nearly thirty volumes of full-length fiction and short story collections, all with striking new covers. Rediscover--or discover for the first time--a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was "a precursor to Douglas Adams."Hob Draconian, American-born but a two-decade resident of Ibiza and a tie-dyed-in-the-wool hippie philosopher divides his time between Paris and Ibiza--and when Soma, a new drug, turns up in Paris in the hands of a murdered Ibizan drug-dealer, it's time for the Alternative Detective Agency to spring into action and defeat the crime syndicate that has infiltrated his beloved expatriate community."The publication of a new novel by Robert Sheckley is always an occasion for delight.... Sheckley's strength, as always, lies in his droll humor and needle-pointed wit."--The Sunday Oregonian
