The Impotency of Bad Karma

Philip José Farmer

First published October 2008
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Pseudonymously published in Popular Culture, June 1977.
Rewritten as The Last Rise of Nick Adams in 1978. 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In 2012 a third (earlier, but previously unpublished) version of this story was released as Up, Out, and Over, Roger.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.
