Rastignac The Devil

Rastignac The Devil is a science fiction novella by Philip José Farmer first published in Fantastic Universe May 1954.

Here is high fidelity fiction at Philip José Farmer's story-telling best. It's a vibrant, distractingly different tale of three centuries into the future. And as you read you'll have a vague, uneasy feeling that it's all taking place somewhere in the unexplored parts of the universe, even today.

French colonists on a planet ruled by reptiles and amphibians are forced to wear living 'skins' that subdue aggression and enforce vegetarianism.

As children, Rastignac and his reptile friend Mapfarity force themselves to become carnivores and begin a protein fueled journey that causes Rastignac to develop a Philosophy of Violence.

When a spaceship from Earth crashes in the ocean, Rastignac and company must put their philosophy to the test.
