Yes, I´ve read a couple of his works and liked them very much.
Here´s what I wrote about him in another thread :
"A. E. van Vogt is a lot of fun to read. His novels are short, about 120 pages, and are really tight, packed with more ideas and twists than normally would be found in three or more SF books. He wrote for U.S. pulp magazines from the 1940s into the 1980s, and was Philip K. Dick´s favourite SF writer.
I have read and liked The War Against the Rull, The Silkie, The Proxy Intelligence and other Mind Benders, Future Glitter, The Wizard of Linn, Rogue Ship and Children of Tomorrow.
Borrowed from amazon.com:
"A.E. van Vogt is truly a grand master of science fiction. He is to Canadian SF what H.G. Wells is to the British variety or Jules Verne to the French. We all stand on his broad shoulders." --Robert J. Sawyer
"Nobody, possibly with the exception of the Bester of The Stars My Destination, ever came close to matching van Vogt for headlong, breakneck pacing, or for the electric, crackling paranoid tension with which he was capable of suffusing his work." --Gardner Dozois" |
