On the far planet Wing IV, a brilliant scientist creates the humanoids--sleek black androids programmed to serve humanity.

But are they perfect servants--or perfect masters?

Slowly the humanoids spread throughout the galaxy, threatening to stifle all human endeavor. Only a hidden group of rebels can stem the humanoid tide...if it's not already too late.

Fist published in Astounding Science Fiction during the magazine's heyday, The Humanoids--sceince fiction grand master Jack Williamson's finest novel--has endured for fifty years as a classic on the theme of natural versus artificial life.

Also included in this edition is the prelude novelette, With Folded Hands, which was chosen for the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.

Keeps even the most destructive dogs entertained
I was hesitant to make this purchase but after I bought the starmark everlasting chew ball (which I also highly recommend), I gave this one a try. I was surprised how heavy it was, definitely only to be thrown outside as it is made out of solid rubber and could easily go through the tv screen if not careful. My dog is extremely destructive and this not only is very durable, it also keeps him entertained for up to 30 minutes at a time. I have not used the star mark treats specifically designed for it, but regular kibble fits into the grooves just fine. Also, if you put small pieces of chick-fil-a waffle fries, dogs go nuts for it. UPDATE: This toy keeps my rambunctious beagle mix entertained better and longer than any other interactive dog toys I have bought. Of all the toys my dog currently owns, (Starmark Bob-A-lot, Trixie Chess board, Starmark Treat-Dispensing chew ball, and several Kongs) this toy is by far his favorite and keeps him occupied while I get work done around the house, distraction-free. Because of it's made of such dense material, I do have one potential concern: since it's approximately the same size/weight as a full beer bottle) this toy might not be the best fetching choice if your dog is quick and tries to catch balls/frisbees in mid-air since it could bust up his/her head and teeth with it's momentum if he caught it wrong. - But if you don't plan on using this toy for fetching, it is a fantastic purchase for your furry pal.

The toy is fine. My dog outsmarted it.
The toy itself is durable and my dog enjoys it. The problem is that I guess my dog is too smart. The first time I gave it to her, it took her about 25 minutes to empty it. I thought I found a winner. The 2nd time-8 minutes. 3rd time-2 minutes. Oh well.

Amazing, durable toy!
This dog toy is tougher than a Kong, and seems like it's a lot more fun! My miniature dachshunds absolutely love this toy, so much so that I had to get more so that they didn't fight over it. They can lick and play with it for hours and never get discouraged no matter how deep the treat is stuck inside. There are three channels in the toy, at varying widths, so the toy is great for all skill levels. One of our dogs didn't know how to play with toys at all when we adopted him, so we started him out on the larger of the 3, filling it with peanut butter and treats that he would be able to access more easily. Now he picks the toy up and carries it around with him and can get treats out of all channels. He's learning so quickly! Another pup of ours is a fairly aggressive chewer, and since he can't get his teeth into the channels, he isn't able to pry at it like with the black Kong - which he was able to tear after a while. I also think that this rubber gets a lot more slippery than a Kong, so it is harder for teeth to really penetrate, without slipping. Love this toy! Thank you Starmark!

The Pickle Means Business
This toy is a godsend. The price is unbeatable in comparison to Petsmart/1-800Petsupplies and even Chewy. This was one of many christmas gifts for our high chewer Aussie and our Border Collie mix, they opened it early like all dogs do. We lovingly nicknamed this toy 'the pickle' and the dogs know if we tell them to go get their pickle, they bring it to us to fill with treats! The pickle is a perfect toy for if you won't be home for awhile, or if your dog needs to be occupied for an hour or two. We fill it with peanut butter and dog food, then freeze and it makes a perfect long lasting toy. My only single complaint to think about is that this toy picks up fur and dirt like mad. It seems the rubber is just a magnet for gross stuff on your floors. Our solution is to ask the dogs to bring us the pickle whenever we run the dishes, and throw it in the dishwasher!

Perfect to distract and engage my dogs
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
These are quite possibly the best thing ever invented for dogs. They are durable, of high quality, easy to wash, and my dogs love them. These are perfect if I need everyone to be quiet for a phone call or if there is a thunderstorm. It helps distract and engage them, and bonus points: my dogs haven't been able to destroy these yet! Always make sure you measure before you buy something! 💜💜💜
