G. Wells and Jules Verne, Stanislaw Lem's \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a space cruiser sent to an obscure planet to determine the fate of a sister spaceship whose communication with Earth has abruptly ceased. Landing on the planet Regis III, navigator Rohan and his crew discover a form of life that has apparently evolved from autonomous, self-replicating machines--perhaps the survivors of a \"robot war.\" Rohan and his men are forced to confront the classic quandary: what course of action can humanity take once it has reached the limits of its knowledge? In \u003ci\u003eThe Invincible\u003c\/i\u003e, Lem has his characters confront the inexplicable and the bizarre: the problem that lies just beyond analytical reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanislaw Lem (1921-2006), a writer called \"worthy of the Nobel Prize\" by the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, was an internationally renowned author of novels, short stories, literary criticism, and philosophical essays.
