Gosseyn spends most of the book in a tricky stalemate with his adversary, the mysterious Follower, and it is an uncharacteristically sluggish story where the interesting events--millions of spaceships destroying hundreds or thousands of planets--seem to take place offstage. Gosseyn spends the book as the pawn in a game whose rules he doesn't understand, tossed around by players who hide their identities. The reader only sees the long game at the end.

The fascinating concepts found in this book led me to another, factual book: Drive Yourself Sane : Using the Uncommon Sense of General Semantics, Revised Second Edition
Van Vogt could tell a good story and yet work in intersting ideas. I remember really enjoying this book when I read it, which was quite long ago now.
The Null-A books had big effect on more when I first read them - bit dated now
10/10
This is the second half to the Null-A series by A. E. Van Vogt. If you read "The World of Null-A" then you HAVE to read this too. It is a great Sci-Fi trip, with Gosseyn's brain getting more powerful every day, and his extra bodies wreaking havoc on the Cosmic Chess Player. Good stuff.
