Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers, Spine; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Moderately Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. A Planet Waited To Be Plundered. ALSO KNOWN AS: A much shorter version of World of Ptavvs first appeared in Worlds of Tomorrow. SYNOPSIS: Larry Greenberg was a sensitive. His telepathic tendencies had been trained and developed by working with dolphins, learning their 'language' and teaching them English. The trouble was that such interchanges were basically emotional and the two personalities involved could become confused about who was who. But it was a detail only, one that could be controlled. Until the day Larry's physicist friend came up with a "Sea Statue"--a creature frozen in time--and found a way to release it. And Larry found himself inside the mind of a thrint, a naturally telepathic creature of enormous power and with murderous inclinations toward all inferior organisms such as Larry! - and - With uncanny facility, one enters the mind of an alien-an overbearing, careless, superior alien. Superior in technology, superior in thought power, resources, development--in just about everything. Except that the thrint is not a sociable creature to anything but other thrints. He seems to be entirely motivated by a desire to grab off a planet, a whole planet, for himself. To own. Somehow Larry Greenberg's frailly developed telepathic capacities have to offset this creature: Some way Larry must divert it without losing his own mind. The world--Larry's world--is waiting to be plundered. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 000403
