Monarch, Derby, Connecticut, 1962, 1^st pr thus.  #252.  Vintage MMPB, 140 pages.  Very good; very light edge wear, light corner bends; small spot adhered to rear wrap; binding sound with a very slight lean.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages.  ‘Flying forty-two miles above Kansas, something phenomenal had happened to Test Pilot Fayburn.  A space egg had smashed through the cockpit plexiglass and then pierced his pressurized suit.  Blood on the pilot’s seat indicated that he had been injured, but there was no wound.  The loss of pressure in the cockpit and in his suit should have killed him instantly – yet here he was, alive and unharmed, but definitely a changed man. … Was he still human or was he now OUT OF THIS WORLD?  Only time would tell as he daringly laid siege to an important air base and began using his frightening power to force man and women to serve his evil purpose.’ (from rear wrap)
