The Wizard of Linn

1950

12,000 A.D. The Earth, after the atomic holocaust, had reverted to a strange kind of barbarism, where men could build space ships but could not communicate except by the most primitive means. Alien invaders had been sighted at the edge of the galaxy - but no one took action. Only one man, THE WIZARD OF LINN could save the decadent empire and with his mysterious powers, prevent the Earth's destruction. This book was originally published in Germany in 1961 by Terra Sonderband, as "Der Zauberer Von Linn" based on a serial from 1950. This book is the sequel to Empire of the Atom.

Until he was four years old, van Vogt and his family spoke only a dialect of Low German in the home. He began his writing career with 'true story' romances, but then moved to writing science fiction, a field he identified with.
