Cover art by Chris Moore. "For the lonely colonists living out their dreary term on Mars, here was the ultimate trip, a pastime that could delivery immortality and wish fulfilment - a doubled-edged power of time and space. But in return, Palmer Eldritch exacted a terrible price. He would enter, control and be a god in everyone's private universe - a universe from which there was no escape, not even death." - from blurb on rear cover. [Reference: Wintz & Hyde "Precious Artifacts" SF27-19; Pringle, David (1985) "Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels" #44] .
Synopsis
In this wildly disorienting funhouse of a novel, populated by God-like--or perhaps Satanic--takeover artists and corporate psychics, Philip K. Dick explores mysteries that were once the property of St. Paul and Aquinas. His wit, compassion, and knife-edged irony make The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch moving as well as genuinely visionary.From the Trade Paperback edition.
