About this Item

The first practical matter transmitter was a success, or so everyone thought. In spite of paranoid security restrictions, Justin Williams and Cinnamon Wright, co-inventors of the device, counted on it to revolutionize civilization and gain them an honored place in history. But the first long-distance field test with a human being - a diplomatic courier carrying a vital message - somehow misfired when the courier killed himself on arrival at his destination. To prove his faith in his invention - and to escape charges of sabotage - Justin had himself "posted" thousands of miles. He came through unchanged. It was the world that was somehow different. Mass market paperback; no stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. Publisher book number 28497, cover price $1.95. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Since this book is from 1980, there is some age browning on inside covers and top and bottom of text block which does not affect readability. Covers show only minor shelf wear and are not creased. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square. Hinges are secure. Price sticker on front cover. Upper front corner bumped. An excellent reading copy.
