Amazon Synopsis:
First, Gino Molinari was assassinated by a political Rival. Then he died of a heart attack. But now he is back, younger and more vigorous than ever, giving Earth new hope of survival in the war against the alien reegs. But is this really Molinari, or a robant masquerading as Earth's overlord? Whatever the truth, only he can save the Solar System - if he can stay alive long enough, or at least not stay dead for too long.

Wow, this novel was complicated with its time-warpings and paradoxes! Quite typical Philip K. Dick! ;) I love the things he could invent and make work, devices, machines, drugs, all arranged in entangled plots through which his characters have to find their way. Brilliant and fascinating! This one in particular mixes the idea of parallel universes and dimensions with time-travel through futuristic drugs, while planet earth is fighting a war on the (wrong?) side of an alien race against a different alien race. Who are the good ones and who are the evil ones, and how can bad choices turn into good ones so as to save the future of mankind??
Thanks AliceF for letting me read it. This is going very soon to bigcurlyloz! :)

EDIT: May 25th: the book has left for next reader! Enjoy! :)

nabbed this quickly before bigcurlyloz got to it, though she has managed to finish reading it just as I'm journalling.
Probably one of Dick's more surreal tales, and definitely somewhat bizarre. I found it difficult to follow at first, but got there eventually. I like the idea, and it is well written once you grasp his version of the future of language. Like all good sci-fi, you can believe it would happen some day

What a strange tale! As usual the ideas and vision of Dick are impressive - time travel, parallel universes and crazy addictive drugs this time - but towards the end I felt it lost its momentum and I found the end disappointing, although it's a reasonable enough conclusion.

Thank you again for organising this Alice. I've pm-ed juliako but had no response yet. Will try again now.

This has arrived safely - probably a few days/weeks ago - thank you - it looks interesting. I will read it when I return from holiday (as I am taking books I can leave behind) and pass it on.

This will be my first Philip K Dick!

I enjoyed this book - I was interested in how "up-to-date" it felt although written just over 40 years ago. While reading it, I felt I was following the plot but now that I've finished I'ver realised I wouldn't be able to recap it for anyone. There were lots of ideas in it so couldn't read it when got too tired. Thanks for sharing! I'll be sending this on to Amanida.
