For anyone who wants to know what true science fiction writing is, they must turn to the work of A. E. van Vogt, whose books published in the heyday of science fiction, the 1940's, still hold the same masterful power over the public's wildest imagination. John C. Wright, inspired by the writing of van Vogt, has sought to continue the classic writer's most classic work, and in his "Null-A Continuum" it is quite possible that he has done justice to the lauded "The World Of Null-A". All of the same characters are still there: the superhuman Gilbert Gosseyn whose double brain assists in his battle against galactic dictator, Enro the Red. With the same van Vogt style and a few twists, it's a great read.
