The Diploids — Katherine MacLean

Through Katherine MacLean's artistry and imagination you'll soar through space, you'll touch the stars, you'll bask in the glow of other suns...and you will be one with

- The long-legged lawyer who suspected that he was a Martian
- The boy who became all he characters in his make-believe games
- The sewing-circle ladies who took over the world
- The alien spacemen adrift in a raindrop
- The woman who discovered the terrible secret of immortality

There are other stories in this remarkable collection, but merely to describe them might give away their plots, and that is a dastardly crime punishable by indefinite exile on mysterious, fog-shrouded Planet X!
