Slan is a classic of science fiction, and A.E. van Vogt’s first novel. Like many serialized stories of the time, it is a fast-paced tale with lots of twists and turns (and things that don’t completely makes sense if you think about them too much). The original Slan novel by Van Vogt was at the beginning of his career, and felt a tiny bit incomplete, since it left most of the plot threads unresolved at the end of the short novel. Unfortunately, because Van Vogt waited 50 years to begin work on the sequel, and left the book still unfinished at the time of his death, Kevin J. Anderson had a difficult task.
