New York: Ace Books, 1973. First Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 216 pp; edge wear, some light soiling to white covers; "In a futuristic society the world lies under a dictatorship. The leading figures are scientists. But, they, too, are rigidly controlled in the uses to which their crafts and their living syles themselves must be applied. Inevitably, a scientist-staffed organization of rebels known as The Hills is formed. Yet this group, too, is suspected to be a tool of the dictatorship. But leading scientist Higenroth planned to turn the organization into a genuine one that would provide a viable, constructive opposition. He hoped to accomplish this with a radically new communications system. He had to work with the utmost speed - because, the next day, he was scheduled for decapitation.
