First edition, first printing. Publisher's original dark brown cloth with illustrations and titles in orange, white and green to the spine and upper board. Half title and title page printed in green and black. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping and light rubbing to the extremities. The contents with a small previous owner's name to the front pastedown and a little spotting to the prelims are otherwise clean throughout.
Part of Shiel's loosely linked science fiction series, the earlier titles of which are The Lord of The Sea and The Purple Cloud. (Bleiler). Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone.
