Five fates by
Keith Laumer(
Book
)
10 editions published between 1970 and 1975 in English and Undetermined and held by 445 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"One of the most bizarre and original fictional concepts ever attempted, this book is a remarkable tour de force for a quintet of today's top writers of speculative fiction. From a common storyhook--Bailey's death at the Euthanasia Center--each author was commissioned to extrapolate his own individual vision of Bailey's fate. No two even remotely resemble one another, and with consummate individuality each of the stories validates beyond doubt the incredible fertility of both the science fiction genre and its singular practitioners

Cuando despertó, desnudo y golpeado, en un calabozo de la comisaría de policía de Jasperton, Adam Nova no sabía absolutamente nada de sí mismo, de donde había venido ni de lo que le rodeaba. No era más que un cascarón vacío: incapaz de hablar, de moverse incluso, sin el menor contacto con la realidad. Pero estaba en el mundo, y tenía que adaptarse a él. Experimentando. Así inició su duro y penoso aprendizaje, tropezando constantemente, sufriendo grandes reveses, pero avanzando con tesón en el difícil camino de la vida. Afortunadamente, tenía las voces para ayudarle a llenar sus inmensas lagunas. Y, dentro de él, unos poderes que desconocía, pero que estaban allí, y que iría descubriendo lentamente. Hasta llegar finalmente, cuando todo parecía hundido a su alrededor, a la revelación de su fantástica naturaleza
