When a damaged spacecraft is forced into unstable orbit, survival is down to biology, physics and endurance. 

Originally published in the United States in 1968 and issued in this Dobson UK hardback edition in 1975, the novel reflects a period when speculative fiction was closely entangled with ecological anxiety and Cold War-era scientific thinking. Weird, forceful and definitely an under-dog classic.

John Rackham was a prolific science fiction author that published under multiple aliases, and wrote a few in the series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. For readers of classic science fiction, 1960s–70s speculative writing, and collectors of UK Dobson hardback editions.
