NECROMANCER
Gordon R. Dickson
Paul Formain, a young mining engineer, has discovered that someone—or something—is making attempts on his life; inexplicably, he finds himself possessed of the uncanny ability to escape his unknown nemesis.
With the knowledge that he somehow has strange powers, Formain approaches the Chantry—a small but important organization involved in trying to save the world from the horrors of technology. He is accepted as an apprentice necromancer, passes all the tests of the black magic society, and is initiated as a member.
Set in the Chicago Complex, a multi-level city with individual subway cars and automatic libraries, Necromancer is science fiction in the popular cosmic style—thought-provoking and entertaining.
RANDALL GARRETT wrote his first successful short story at the age of fourteen, for which he was awarded a check from his editor and a C-minus from his English teacher. Mr. Garrett spent his youth in various places in the United States—living wherever his Army officer father was assigned—and received his higher education at Texas Technological College. He is the author of three novels (two in collaboration with Robert Silverberg) and a biography of Pope John XXIII, and has had short stories published in all of the science fiction magazines.
