Book description
His only escape was to become another man! Allen Sibley was a
frightened little man - frightened for his life. In the corrupt,
swindling world of cutthroat big business in which he was an important
and pseudo-respectable figure, Allen Sibley had made the unforgivable
error - he had found out. And worse, someone had known this would
happen, someone who waited quietly to collect Allen Sibley's entire
fortune in exchange for a gamble - but it was the only gamble which
might save Sibley his life! Algis Budrys (1931-2008) Born in East
Prussia in 1931, Budrys and his family were sent to the United States
when he was just five. After studying at the University of Miami and
Columbia University, Budrys turned his hand to both writing and
publishing science fiction. Over the years he worked as an editor,
manager and reviewer for various publishing houses, while maintaining an
impressive output of fiction and editing his own magazine, Tomorrow
Speculative Fiction. He was shortlisted for numerous awards, including
the Hugo and the Nebula, for his fiction and critical non-fiction. He
died in 2008.
