Description: The Cosmic Rape ("To Marry Medusa" is the short story from which it was expanded) tells the story of a wandering space conqueror who is shocked to discover that humans, unlike any other race it had ever known, did not have a group mind. Convinced that this is how it's meant to be, Medusa enlists the help of a born loser to put all the brainwaves back together again. The Cosmic Rape is one of these utopia vision sci-fi novels that seemed to populate the late 50s/early 60s. Sturgeon is a fine writer, and his recognizable style makes it immediately much more than the sum of its parts. The characters are grubbily and wonderfully real, even if the plot can't always say the same for itself. Recommended for fans of science fiction writing of the period, and for fans of Sturgeon.
