Transported back to his home planet, Andrew Blake awakens to an Earth he does not recognize--a world of flying cars and sentient floating houses--with no memory whatsoever of his history or purpose. But he has not returned alone. The last survivor of a radical experiment abandoned more than a century earlier, Blake was genetically altered to be able to adapt to extreme alien environments, and now he can sense other presences inhabiting his mind and body. One is a biological computer of astonishing power; the other is a powerful creature akin to a large wolf. And Blake is definitely <i>not</i> the one in control. With his sanity hanging in the balance, Blake's only option is to set out in frantic pursuit of his past, the truth, his destiny--and quite possibly the fate of humankind. <p/> A bravura demonstration of unparalleled imagination, intelligence, and heart, <i>The Werewolf Principle</i> addresses weighty issues of genetic manipulation that are as relevant today as when the novel first appeared in print. One of the all-time best and brightest in speculative fiction, Grand Master Clifford D. Simak offers a moving, stunning, witty, and thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Simak] crafts a wonderful little vision of the future." --Tor.com <p/> "Just about any work by Simak deserves to be considered a classic." --SFBook.com <p/> "To read science-fiction is to read Simak.

Heinlein<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>During his fifty-five-year career, Clifford D. Simak produced some of the most iconic science fiction stories ever written.
