It was published in book form in 1950 by Gnome Press in an edition of 5,000. Plot introductionThe novel is a space opera about a contemporary man who awakens in the far future. ReceptionBoucher and McComas gave Minions a mixed review, describing it as "a conventional enough sleeper-wakes-into-retrograde-world story, but told with a fine blend of high romantic adventure and lively absurdity.".[1] Damon Knight found the novel an "old-style romance, somewhat the worse for wear".[2] P. Schuyler Miller declared that the author's treatment of "Omega, [the] puckish, hammish disembodied superintelligence, last survivor of the lunar race of whatsits," sets the novel apart from the routine.[3]References1. ^"Recommended Reading," F&SF, December 1950, p.104 2. ^"The Dissecting Table", Worlds Beyond, December 1950, p.115 3. ^"Book Reviews", Astounding Science Fiction.
