  Process by A. E. van Vogt - An ancient intelligence stirs, locked in a struggle for survival against forces both familiar and alien. But when outsiders arrive with their own secret agenda, the battle takes an unexpected and perilous turn. 
  Alfred Elton van Vogt, (A. E. van Vogt) was born on April 26, 1912, in Edenburg, Manitoba, Canada, and grew up on a series of remote farms in the prairies before his family eventually settled in Winnipeg. A shy and introspective child, he developed a love for stories at an early age, devouring books and radio dramas while imagining vast adventures of his own. Before turning to science fiction, van Vogt worked as a census taker, farmhand, and in advertising, sharpening his skills as a writer with confession stories and radio scripts. 
  In 1939, inspired by reading the landmark issue of Astounding Science Fiction that featured John W. Campbell’s vision of a “new wave” of science fiction, van Vogt decided to devote himself fully to the genre. His first published story, “Black Destroyer,” appeared in Astounding in July 1939 and made an immediate impact. From that moment, van Vogt emerged as one of the Golden Age’s most influential authors.
