Comments & Further Information

A US mass market paperback with a stated second printing (originally published in 1959).   In good condition for its age.  Tanning to pages and to insides of covers.  The first couple of pages have become detached at the bottom.  The covers are showing signs of wear to the extremities.  Crease across back cover about 2 inches down from the top.

SYNOPSIS:  “The spaceship dropped them in to the night – two men pitted against the might empire that held Earth as a slave planet.  One was the anonymous agent of the mysterious “munitions firm” supplying weapons to Earth’s Underground.  The other was Michael Wireman – some of the last President of Free Earth.

Their missions was simple – and suicidal – to weld the underground guerilla fighters into a force capable of beating the most powerful army in the Galaxy.  Danger and death waited for them on Earth’s nightside – but within him Michael held the weapon that could conquer Earth.  The only trouble was…. he didn’t know he had it…”
