Stanislaw Lem - Catarul

Stanislaw Lem - Catarul

(146pg, ro, 1975)


A former astronaut helps Interpol solve a series of mysterious deaths. Multivariate statistics play an important rôle in this story, and come closer to the truth then it might at first seem.

The Polish title Katar means ``The Cold,'' as in a head-cold. In American English, however, ``The Cold'' would more likely be interpreted as temperature, not illness. Chain of Chance is a good descriptive title. The head-cold, by the way, does figure into that chain-of-chance.
