<DIV><b>&ldquo;<i>The General Zapped an Angel</i> was written for fun, and offers me a chance to smile at the absurdity of human existence. Therefore, these stories of fantasy and science fiction are among the most serious writing I have done.&rdquo; &mdash;Howard Fast</b></div><BR><DIV>Nearly forty years after the publication of his first story, &ldquo;The Wrath of Purple,&rdquo; in the science fiction magazine <i>Amazing Stories</i>, Howard Fast returned to the genre with a set of nine supremely entertaining tales. In this collection, a Vietnam general shoots down what appears to be an angel, a man sells his soul to the devil for a copy of the next day&rsquo;s <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, and a group of alien beings bestow a mouse with human thought and emotion. Fast, one of the bestselling authors of the twentieth century, skewers war hawks, oil speculators, and profit-at-all-costs capitalism, issues that are still relevant today.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
