Synopsis: Have you ever wondered what could happen if only things were a little different? Perhaps if only you were a little different? Is there any thinking person who has not pondered the almost infinite potential of man? Gordon R. Dickson, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, author of the bestselling Dorsai novels, presents here eleven enthralling and thought-provoking variations on the human matrix. One is a mighty, dark and unconquerable warrior (Warrior - a Childe Cycle story), another a child so far developed over present-day man there can be no understanding between him and us. A third has turned his back on land to answer the irresistible call of the undersea, a fourth is no longer human at all, but animal.... One of the giants of the science fiction field gives us MUTANTS, a provocative testament to one of the most limitless mysteries of the cosmos-the incredible mutability of man! (from the back cover of the 1983 DAW Books edition)
