Produktbeschreibung
In a drab, utilitarian future, such arts as ceramic repair hold little value. But humble pot-healer Joe Fernwright is wanted by the Glimmung, the ruling power of Plowman's Planet. A being that looks something like a gyroscope, something like a teenaged girl, and something like the contents of an ocean, the Glimmung is known for its bad temper. But no one on Plowman's Planet knows whether the Glimmung is maleficent or benign-only that they have been lured there by its mysterious design. Combining quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian journey. Beginning as parody, it leads to questions of predetermination, and the battle between forces of good and evil.
