Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

As the arms race moved on yesterday's weapons were turned into toys, souvenirs, egg beaters, furniture and never used as weapons. It may have looked crazy, but it kept the 21st Century world peaceful. But then the Sirius Slavers arrived from outer space and whole cities began to disappear. From the author of DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP.


Ingram

A stalemate has left East and West caught in a chilling ironic atmosphere in this hilarious weapons race where designers take hallucinogenics to inspire new ways to destroy the Earth. "Phillip K. Dick rivals Kurt Vonegut."--New York Times.

2.0 out of 5 stars ordinary reading, Nov 20 1998
By A Customer
If you are used to explore Dick's movie,I'm sure you won't find many attractive themes in these novel.Apart from some curious character (the toys'producer) I haven't found any reason of interest.Avoid,if you have something better to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Standard PKD, Oct 25 1998
By A Customer
I had heard some not too good things about this book before I read it but I was pleasantly suprised.I admit that it's not one of his masterpiece's but it is a good read.Zap Gun won't convert anyone who doesn't already like PKD but most of his fans will probally love it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars not the best PKD has to offer, April 23 1998
By A Customer
I have been re-reading all of PKD's novels. This one is pretty much a dud. It has some great PKD themes--Military Industrial Complex gone wild, time/reality distortion, etc--but the plot is pretty sloppy and the characters are not fleshed out. Worth reading simply because it is a PKD book. But seeing that it is out of print--don't kill yourself trying to find a copy.
