A motley assortment of humans and one robot, all from alternative universes, must make their way by having a unusual alien puzzle-world of risk and puzzle in this basic research fiction allegory by an award-winning maestro. Carrying out a dialog with a chatting slot machine, Professor Edward Lansing detects himself mysteriously transported to a tavern on a long and empty highway. It is immediately obvious to the educator that he's no longer on campus - or even Globe - which he is not alone. Lansing's new companions - a lady engineer, a military services officer, a humorless priest, a poetess, and a robot called Jurgens - all hail from different alternative realities and talk about Lansing's confusion. What's clear, however, is the fact that they need to continue down the road together, encountering a series of bizarre sights, dangerous hurdles, and perplexing puzzles along the way: an abandoned, decaying city; a set of doorways; a huge blue cube; a tower that sings. Soon it is noticeable all of them are being tested for a few eerie, inexplicable reason, and the options each must make will determine his / her future. For those who fail, the alien trail will never be seen again. A provocative research fiction allegory, Special Deliverance is Hugo and Nebula Award winner Clifford D. Simak's Pilgrim's Improvement - a tale of great tests and hidden agendas that expose the foibles of mankind and an excellent exploration of the human being condition. A research fiction classic filled with intelligence, technology, and wonder, it is yet another extraordinary creation from one of the genre's most revered grandmasters.
