A Maze of Death
Fourteen people arrive on the strange planet of Delmark-O; they have nothing in common other than a desire to make a fresh start. And they have no idea why they are there and no way of escaping. And then the first murder takes place...
'The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world, ringing changes the rest of us have never dreamed of' John Brunner 'Entices the reader into the depths of fantasy by using wholly credible characters' Sunday Times 'The suspense is maintained throughout this very unpredictable novel' Publishers Weekly The work of Philip K. Dick has been introduced to a wide audience by the success of the films Blade Runner and Minority Report 'Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise' Michael Moorcock 'Dick's abundant storytelling gifts and the need to express his inner struggles combined to produce some of the most groundbreaking novels and idea to emerge from SF' Waterstone's Guide to Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror 'It's beginning to look as though greatness has been thrust upon Philip K. Dick ... [He] has chosen to handle material too nutty to accept, too admonitory to forget, too haunting to abandon' Washington Post
