The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch -- Philip K. Dick

<strong>A Nebula Award-nominee from the Hugo Award-winning author of <em>The Man in the High Castle, </em> Philip K. Dick's <em>The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch</em> explores the desolation of the minds, souls, and hearts of colonists on Mars in "a psychedelic odyssey of hallucinations-within-hallucinations from which no reader emerges unscathed" (<em>Boston Globe</em>).</strong><br/><br/>On Mars, the harsh climate could make any colonist turn to drugs to escape a dead-end existence. Especially when the drug is Can-D, which translates its users into the idyllic world of a Barbie-esque character named Perky Pat. When the mysterious Palmer Eldritch arrives with a new drug called Chew-Z, he offers a more addictive experience, one that might bring the user closer to God. But in a world where everyone is tripping, no promises can be taken at face value.<br/><br/><em>The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch</em> is one of Philip K. Dick's enduring classics, at once a deep character study, a dark mystery, and a tightrope walk along the edge of reality and illusion.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Philip K.
