Earth has been invaded – but one human terrorist has discovered a weapon which might change the course of the war!

Earth has been taken over by the Ganymedians, a race of telepathic worm-like aliens whose instinct for survival has overridden any human attempt to resist their rule. But there is one man who may have discovered a way to defeat them. Dr Balkani has created a machine which distorts reality, and therefore will allow a determined human to avoid the Ganymedians’ telepathic oversight.

But there is one problem – Balkani is a worm-kisser, a servant of the invaders, and may not allow his invention to be used against them …

Reviews

THE GUARDIAN
"The fascination of the novel lies in spotting the themes that Dick would later develop and make his own: the malleability of perceived reality, the imposition of the fake on the real and the struggle between good and evil. The Cosmic Puppets may be a minor work, but is nevertheless interesting."
