Minotaur Maze
Minotaur Maze is Robert Sheckley's modern take on the myth of the Minotaur. It is a tour de force of imagination, fantasy, and creative confusion. Through brief chapters running from How Theseus Got His First Mintoauring Job to I Hate to Blame Daedalus for Everything, The Attack of the Self Pity Plant, Daedalus Dispenses with Causality, and finally, Falling Through the Story, we travel a maze as lethally complicated as the Minotaur's and arrive at the end breathless with wonder, surprise, and laughter. Sheckley, a master of science fiction, has been called a precursor to Douglas Adams by the New York Times.

Über den Autor
Robert Sheckley was one of the funniest writers in the history of science fiction. He did screwball comedy, broad satire, and farce. He could also be deadly serious, but he was always entertaining and always had something pointed to say about our world using the skewed versions of reality he created in his fiction. Starting in the early 1950s, he was an amazingly prolific short story writer, with a lot of his stories appearing in Galaxy Magazine. He launched his novel-writing career with Immortality, Inc., which he followed up with a sequence of excellent books: The Status Civilization, Journey Beyond Tomorrow, and Mindswap. He continued to produce novels and short stories in abundance until his death in 2005.
