Publisher Notes

Dr. Fischer, an enigmatic millionaire, practical joker, and student of human nature, hosts notoriously decadent parties that serve as part of his experiment to see just how far the extremely wealthy will go to satisfy their greed.

Media Reviews

"Theology and philosophy aside, this is a sharp, glittering, wrily comic novella; not a word wasted, not a false step made. The problem posed may be less demanding than that of 'The Human Factor,' but its artistic solution is more elegant and more satisfying."
