First edition. Octavo, illustration by Lee Manso, cloth. Signed inscription by Van Vogt on the front free end paper: "With all good / wishes / A. E. Van Vogt." Also affixed to the front paste down is a label with a nice inscription signed by Van Vogt to a well known early fan. "A space-operatic mystery story in its author's best vein, with a hero who seemingly can die and be reborn endlessly (thanks to his 'non-Aristotelian' mental powers). It's dreadful old garbage by any reasonable critical standard, and yet it has a dreamlike conviction which has endeared it to generations of readers. The works of van Vogt, which have provided so much escapist joy, are among the great embarrassments of modern SF." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 427. [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1158. Survey of Science Fiction Literature V, pp. 2501-05]. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket mild wear to spine ends and lower front corner tip, some toning to spine panel and mild dust soiling to rear panel. (31235).
