About This Item
New York: Gnome Press Publishers, [1951]. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some mild edge rubbing to the edges and spine ends. (16628). Octavo, cloth. The author's second book and first SF novel, a "long, complicated parallel-worlds adventure with an exciting narrative -- future war, super science and echoes of nuclear holocaust -- and a number of lively variations on favorite SF themes, told with some of the intricacy of his contemporary at ASTOUNDING, A. E. van Vogt." - John Clute and Peter Nicholls, SFE (online). Both future worlds are authoritarian dystopias, one controlled by an elite of computer scientists.
