Synopsis
A scourge alive.
There lived on Mars, 500,000 years ago, a race so intelligent, so superior to ours, that they knew the secret of everlasting life. They chose instead - to have one man come back to life exactly 500,000 years after his death!
His reappearance in the Galaxy World was enough to set planet against planet, ideology against ideology, man against man, and life against death.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 3rd Edition. Originally published in 1951 as the digest-format "Galaxy SF Novel #6", this is the 1977 second paperback edition, Leisure Books #444ZK, in remarkable unread fine condition, missing "as new" only by a very tiny scrape on the top front corner plus a little age toning on cover inside surfaces. Its binding is tight and square, with no reading creases in the spine or hinges. Covers are bright, unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn, with no perceptible age toning. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description. Bibliographic note: there is no credit in the book for its striking cover art, but the Internet SF Database credits Jack Gaughan. Seller Inventory # 001486

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Originally published in 1951 as the digest-format "Galaxy SF Novel #6", this is the September 1966 first paperback edition, Belmont #B50-708, AND the 1977 second paperback edition, Leisure Books #444ZK, both in collectible condition. The Belmont paperback is unread, in near fine condition, marred only by a former owner's date stamp on the front end paper ("NOV 29 1966", just a couple of months after publication), plus some sun-fade to publisher's green stain around the text block, light age toning to insides of the covers, and traces of edge wear. Its binding is tight and square, with no reading creases in the spine or hinges. Covers are bright and unmarked. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. The Leisure Books paperback is also in near fine condition, possibly unread, marred only by a very shallow spine crease, otherwise as new. Its binding is tight and square, with no hinge creases. Covers are bright and unmarked. Pages are unworn and unmarked, with unfaded publisher's light yellow stain around edges of the text block. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship these books in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure they reach their proud new owner in the same condition as my description. Bibliographic note: versions of the Belmont edition were printed both in the USA and Canada, with no precedence between the two. This copy has "Printed in Canada" on its copyright page.
