A hapless Earthling must find his way home through a universe of absurdities in this science fiction romp from a Hugo and Nebula Awardânominated master.
New York civil servant Thomas Carmody has never been particularly lucky. Imagine his surprise when he discovers heâs won the grand prize in an Intergalactic Lottery he had no idea heâd entered.
Â
Whisked far away to Galactic Central to claim his award, he has two immediate, equally troubling revelations. Not only does his Prizeâa talkative device that changes shapeâserve no practical purpose whatsoever, but now heâs expected to find his own way back to Earth.
Â
Of course, Carmody has no idea where, when, or even which universe heâs been stranded in. Ignoring the worthless advice and opinions of his increasingly annoying Prize, he embarks on a bizarre odyssey that takes him from alternate Earth to alternate Earth, bringing him into close contact with all manner of strangenessâand even with a bored God Almighty Himself.
Â
But Carmodyâs sweepstakes âwindfallâ comes with yet another unexpected drawback. Suddenly, an unrelenting predator is on his tail, determined to eliminate the âglitchâ wandering lost through numerous dimensions where he does not belong.
Â
A full decade before Douglas Adams devised TheHitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy, Robert Sheckley created his Dimension of Miracles, launching one luckless protagonist on a hilarious journey across an alien universe of intelligent dinosaurs and mothering sentient towns. Fans of Kurt Vonnegut, Roger Zelazny, Terry Pratchettâs Discworld, and Harry Harrisonâs Bill the Galactic Hero will delight in Sheckleyâs biting and brilliant Alice in Wonderlandâlike outer space adventure.

Robert Sheckley was one of the funniest writers in the history of science fiction. He did screwball comedy, broad satire, and farce. He could also be deadly serious, but he was always entertaining and always had something pointed to say about our world using the skewed versions of reality he created in his fiction. Starting in the early 1950s, he was an amazingly prolific short story writer, with a lot of his stories appearing in Galaxy Magazine. He launched his novel-writing career with Immortality, Inc., which he followed up with a sequence of excellent books: The Status Civilization, Journey Beyond Tomorrow, and Mindswap. He continued to produce novels and short stories in abundance until his death in 2005.
