Beyond Lies the Wub was the first story ever published by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. In this short story Peterson buys a "wub" from a local before his departure from Mars and takes it back aboard the ship on which he is a crew member. But the captain Franco cites his concerns about the extra weight of having this huge pig-like creature on-board, although he really seems more interested in how it might taste. Once in space however, the crew realize that the wub is an intelligent being, able to use telepathy and perhaps even control people's minds.

I'm not sure I've heard or seen this story anywhere else - thou it does have some similar themes that I have seen in shows like the Twilight Zone, and Outer Limits - It did leave me a bit confused - maybe because it's so short. I'm putting this on my list of books that I need to read again.

I give it 4 stars - because it is quick, it is easy to read - if not a bit hard to follow, but mostly because it is written by a master, one that I'm quickly finding to be very very enjoyable to read.

Definitely a re-read.
