About this ebook
“WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT MORE, AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT!
It was enough to curdle the blood. Haendl was proposing to fight—against the invulnerable, the almost godlike Pyramids!
Haendl stood up. “Tropile, that’s what this is all about!” He gestured around him. “Guns, tanks, airplanes—it’s going to be us against them. Never mind the Sheep; they don’t count. It’s going to be Pyramids and Wolves, and the Pyramids won’t win. And then—”
He was glowing, and the fever was contagious. Tropile felt his own blood begin to pound. Haendl hadn’t finished his “and then—”, but he didn’t have to. It was obvious. And then the Earth would go back to its own solar system, and an end to the five-year cycle of frost and hunger.
And then the Wolves would rule a world worth ruling.
This is a work of fiction. All the characters and events portrayed in this book are fictional, and any resemblance to real people or incidents is purely coincidental.

I have read this book about a dozen times since i was a teenager, and i still enjoy it at sixty. Its strangeness, as well as its simplicity, combine into a unique reading experience. I highly recommend it.

Well written, classic sci-fi from two of the masters of the genre. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
About the author
Frederik Pohl was born in 1919 and has been professionally involved in sf as an editor and writer since his teens. Among his many books are A Plague of Pythons, Gateway, Man Plus and JEM: The Making of a Utopia.
C. M. Kornbluth (1923-1958) was the bureau chief of a Chicago news agency until 1951 when he took up fiction writing full time. He established himself very quickly as a brilliant short-story writer with works such as ‘The Little Black Bag’, ‘The Marching Morons’, ‘The Cosmic Charge Account’ and ‘Two Dooms’. Pohl and Kornbluth started writing stories together in 1940 and their collaborations include The Space Merchants, Search the Sky and Gladiators-at-Law.
