The Skull
(eAudiobook)
Description
In The Skull, legendary science fiction author Philip K. Dick explores the paradoxes of fate, identity, and time travel in a haunting and thought-provoking narrative. Convicted criminal Conger is given one final mission: travel back in time and assassinate the mysterious Founder before his doctrine of peace can reshape the future. Armed only with a futuristic weapon and the Founder's skull as a means of identification, Conger's journey becomes a tangled confrontation with destiny. As past and future blur, and questions of mortality and self arise, Conger makes a shattering discovery-he is not the killer, but the legend himself. Originally published in 1952, The Skull is a powerful example of Dick's ability to fuse gripping plot with metaphysical inquiry, leading listeners through a suspenseful loop of cause and effect, where the hunted becomes the prophet, and death may be the key to immortality.
