Nova by Samuel R Delany (1968)


I saw a reference to this book and got the ebook version.  3 pages in, I realized I had read it in 1969 (when it won the Hugo award) and I remembered all the details and the entire story.  I skimmed through the rest of the ebook in a few minutes and noticed the new edition had added  a few paragraphs the author had originally written containing a rant by the antagonist to make him more evil.  I think the original is a little better.  Despite the outdated physics and odd occult mumbo jumbo, the book still holds up, 3/5 Stars.
