The War Against the Rull, a novel assembled from interconnected stories written for Astounding between 1940 and 1950.
Trevor Jamieson, chief scientist of the Interstellar Military Commission, on the front lines of humanity’s war with a shape-shifting race of insectoid aliens known as the Rull. Jamieson may have found the key to victory, but first he must simply survive—marooned on a wild, hostile planet with a 6,000-pound, blue-furred, six-legged, human-hating telepathic bear.
One of my favorite Van Vogt novels.
![“The most memorable book I ever received for Christmas was Robert A. Heinlein’s Have Space Suit, Will Travel. […] I remember the story vividly half a century later — Kip and Peewee, the Mother Thing, the wormfaces, humanity on trial before the assembled races of the galaxies. Classic stuff. It made me a reader, a science fiction fan, and a Heinlein fan.”

What I’m reading:
Brian Aldiss - Non-Stop
1958. A member of a culturally-primordial tribe investigates the dark, jungle filled corridors that surround him. A good book, well written.
