About This Item
London: Hamilton & Co. (Stafford) Ltd, 1953. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Full turquoise cloth. 143 pp. Bruise to lower corner of front board. Foxing to edges of text block. Toning to interior. Dust jacket is price clipped, lightly rubbed to extremities, moderately soiled. When Harry Sellars, a security officer, first became suspicious of one of the physicists working at the Space-Ship Development Centre, he did not imagine that he would end up helping to win Earth's greatest battle. At first, when he saw a man walk through a solid wall, he thought that he was going mad. But his later investigations proved his sanity quite conclusively. Something had walked through walls, alright - but certainly not a man. Sellars' adventures in tracking down the alien and learning of its purpose on earth, form the basis of this intriguing science-fiction story.
