Blurb: “Olaf Stapledon was one of the greatest originators of modern science fiction. The ideas expressed in his books have formed the framework for much of today's writing in the field.
In ODD JOHN he created the first "homo superior"-a being at once strange and awe-some, possessing unparalleled mental pow-ers. ODD JOHN's story is a compelling tale of a superman's tragic struggle for survival in a world of ordinary men.
"Olaf Stapledon... was a mythmaker, and as such he was unique. In his chosen field, his books stand absolutely unequalled in their combination of intellectual brilliance, imaginative sweep, and tragic dignity."
-BASIL DAVENPORT
... Olaf Stapledon's ODD JOHN is a masterpiece of imaginative fiction. No one else has written so vividly and plausibly of homo superiors forced to live in a world of normal men and women."
