The first novella bears striking similarities to Friday - not necessarily the overall thrust of the story, but many of the trappings (secret agent is followed, captured, freed, taken to a farm where s/he learns to embrace his/her full potential......more

El segundo, La herencia perdida, infumable, sobre todo tipo de Percepción Extra Sensorial (muy de moda en los 50´s en USA, donde inten......more
