FIRST BRITISH PAPERBACK edition of this 1953 book. Edgar Pangborn's first science fiction novel, "West of the Sun" tells of a spaceship which crash-lands on the planet the crew names Lucifer - Son of the Morning. Full of hope and excitement, the six explorers encounter an alien world full of bat-winged monsters, painted witches, and armies of pygmy cannibals. But for each threat, objects of great beauty await them, blue fireflies, red-green forest, vast mountains, and deep seas. With ever-dwindling supplies, and a war in the making, these adventurers embark on one of the most fascinating journeys of survival in science fiction... somewhere West of the Sun.
