The Last Rise of Nick Adams

Philip José Farmer

First published August 1978
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Rewrite of The Impotency of Bad Karma published as by "Cordwainer Bird" in Popular Culture, June 1977
While revising, Farmer missed half a column of text, leaving a strange gap in the story.
In 2012 a third (earlier, but previously unpublished) version of this story was released as Up, Out, and Over, Roger. Here the protagonist is called Roger Spinnett instead of Nick Adams.
