New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. First Edition. First Printing. good, fair. 22 cm, 496, index, DJ somewhat worn and soiled: edge tears/chips and a few slightly larger pieces missing. Substantial portions of this book were previously published in book form in Early Tales of the Atomic Age (1948) and The Man in the Thick Lead Suit (1954). A true story of individuals from wartime operatives of the Counter-Intelligence Corps who hushed up the existence of the atomic-bomb project, to the theoretically ideal astronaut: a woman midget from the Andes with a Ph.D. in physics; from puzzled sighters of flying saucers to abomb-making scientist who considers his work "boring."
