Produktbeschreibung
Palos of the dog star pack explores the tension between physical existence and mental transcendence through the lens of speculative science. The narrative opens in a state hospital, where a stormy evening introduces a psychiatrist to a puzzling case: a man lies in a cataleptic trance, yet his body remains vital, untouched by decay. As the doctor investigates, he uncovers notes and journals detailing the subject s obsession with separating soul from body through controlled astral projection. These writings hint at a belief that the mind can escape the confines of Earth and inhabit distant worlds. The early scenes do not focus on action but rather probe the possibilities of consciousness detaching from the body and inhabiting another physical form elsewhere in the universe. The atmosphere is clinical yet tinged with otherworldly curiosity, as rational inquiry collides with uncharted psychic phenomena. Through this framework, the story begins to pose existential questions about identity, will, and the boundaries of human experience, establishing a path that intertwines scientific curiosity with metaphysical ambition in a setting shaped by imagination and internal discovery.
Autorenporträt
John Ulrich Giesy was an American doctor, novelist, and author. He was an early writer in the Sword and Planet genre, with his Jason Croft series. He worked with Junius B. Smith on several of his stories. According to Robert Weinberg's website, the series of stories featuring Jason Croft was one of the most popular scientific romance trilogies published in All-Story Weekly magazine during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Giesy also contributed to other pulp magazines, including Argosy, Adventure, and Weird Tales. All For His Country, Giesy's 1915 novel, is about a future Japanese invasion of the United States. Because All For His Country depicts Japanese-Americans living in California assisting in the invasion, some critics have characterized it as an example of anti-Japanese prejudice that led to the internment of Japanese Americans following Pearl Harbor. Giesy lived in Salt Lake City, where he met Junius B. Smith, with whom he co-wrote numerous novels, notably those featuring the occult investigator Semi-Dual.
