Una superstrada. Una macchina. E dollari per le vacanze. Quattro studenti universitari attraversano diagonalmente l’America, fino al deserto dell’Arizona. La scarrozzata ? anche una fuga dal rock, dalla droga, dall’astrologia... Qualcosa di molto pi? eccitante aspetta i quattro boys: un miraggio di immortalit? che il Libro dei Teschi, un antico manoscritto casualmente ritrovato, offre a chi accetta i Diciotto Misteri dell’Iniziazione. Purtroppo, la vita eterna non sar? elargita a tutti: due ragazzi dovranno morire affinche gli altri vivano. I primi dubbi: esiste davvero, laggi? nel deserto, la casa dell’eterna giovinezza?... All’avventura esoterica, oggi molto attuale nei "colleges", si ispira «Vacanze nel deserto», un eccezionale romanzo "fantastico" che appaga il nostro bisogno di mistero: con questo libro Silverberg d? una risposta nuova, abbagliante e terribile.

По мнению исследователей творчества Филипа Дика, трилогия «Валис» стала главным произведением его жизни, хотя писатель успел закончить только два романа из задуманных трех. Первый роман трилогии – вероятно, наиболее личная книга Дика из всех им написанных. В этом романе нашли отражение собственные мистические переживания автора, и остается только догадываться, считал ли он сам «Валис» художественным вымыслом – или же автобиографией с совсем небольшими преувеличениями…
