I read half (of the story) standing at the newsstand before I bought it... I still think it's Campbell's best story and best sci-fi horror (A. Van Vogt). The potential and impact of history on the genre is comparable only to Shakespeare's Hamlet in relation to the theater. In 1973, the Science Fiction Writers' Association of America recognized the story as one of the best science fiction stories of all time. The story has been filmed four times.Employees of the Antarctic Research Center discover a spaceship with a frozen body of an alien creature in the ice. The defrosted alien returns to life and discovers the ability to take on the form of any animal or person. Will scientists be able to answer the main question addressed to each other: "Who are you?". Not only personal life, but also the life of all mankind will depend on this.
