The figure of an outcast super-scientist is so comic-like and iconic, that pulp lovers might even cringe from "over-pulpiness". The (mad, mad, mad) genius nurtures the (mad, mad, mad) designs of global dominations, which are fatally thwarted by the (mad, mad... but charming) female fellow scientist and some invisible aliens on some asteroid in the deep space. Do not read this if you never liked super-hero comics from the 30s. Kudos to the author, though, for the adventurous rocket-scientist brunette heroine. review: 20-Dec-07 (read in 2007) ---------------------------------------------- Michail Veller "Knopka" © Khimiya I Zhizn, 1980 Khochu Byt Dvornikom, 1983 --/ cool f story --/ idea award --/ rare find A.Hyatt Verrill "Throught the Andes" (nv) © Amazing Stories, Sep 1934 --/ rare find Art Vesity "The First Day" © IASFM, Sep 1982 Boris Vian "Pena Dnei" (coll) (The Foam Of Days) © 1943-1949, French Moscow edition --/ third place f collection --/ wonder award --/ emotion award --/ romance award --/ style award William Vine "Death Sentence" © Imagination, Jun 1953 Eric Vinikoff "Displaced" (Lord Nakai series) © Analog, Mar 1987 Eric Vinikoff "Independents" © Analog, Apr 1987 --/ cool sf story Eric Vinikoff (with M.
