About This Item
Pocket Books, 1977. Paperback. Good/None. Likely an early printing of this edition, possibly a first. Pocket Books didn't inlcude a number line until 1979, so this copy was printed sometime in 1977 or 1978. Rubbing and shelf wear to covers with discoloration to back cover, likely transposed from another book it was shelved next to. Tape across spine at top and bottom edge, but with no apparent tears or reason for the application visible. Binding is very strong, spine is straight and all pages are clean and unmarked, though tanned.

This was an enjoyable read. Had the author been any other than Colin Wilson, it would have been far less entertaining.

When Captain Carlsen entered a derelict spaceship he discovered immobilized humanoid passengers. the creatures were energy vampires whose seductive embraces were fatal. Captain Carlson worked towards their destruction, but he was erotically drawn to the most beautiful vampire of all.
There are difficult names that slow down a rather quick erotically pleasant gory read.
