Synopsis

*The Unteleported Man*, by Philip K. Dick, is about a future in which a one-way teleportation technology enables 40 million people to emigrate to a colony named Whale's Mouth on an Earth-like planet, which advertisements show as a lush green utopia. This book is the original text. In *The Mind Monsters*, by Howard L. Cory, a crash-landed Terran takes over a peculiar Alien planet.
