About this Item

1955 Rich and Cowan (London), 5 1/8 x 7 1/2 inches tall dark red cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, gilt lettering to spine, 206 pp. Prior owner name to blank front free-endpaper. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a creased, worn and torn dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. ~M~ [1.0P] The first issue of a science fiction novel by Noel M. Loomis (1905-1969), writing under the pseudonym Silas Water. Three years later, in 1958, The Man With Absolute Motion saw its first American publication as the cover piece in the October 1958 issue of Satellite Science Fiction. Set in a desolate venue, the Universe is paralysed by interminable - perhaps not intentionally comic - bureaucratic delays and is also running out of energy. After saving the Universe with considerable help, the eponymous hero takes an Eve figure back to a depopulated Earth to start again.
