“The General Zapped an Angel 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.” —Howard Fast Nearly forty years after the
publication of his first story, “The Wrath of Purple,” in the
science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, 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’s Wall
Street Journal, 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.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast
including rare photos from the author’s estate.
