About This Item
New York, Toronto: Rinehart & Company, Inc., [1953]. First edition. Tanning to text block, a fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with toning to the spine panel and a touch of wear to the corner tips and crease at head of spine panel. (32439). Octavo, boards. Suspense thriller with science fiction element of weather control, in the modern era these novels would became known as techno-thrillers. "The Army, FBI, G-2, civilian scientists and Platt Vencel, who has been unceremoniously appropriated for his knowledge of the mountain caves and tunnels, on the hunt for the weather wrecker that has been devastating the U. S. Conflict within the blindman's buff of agencies, murders, and a record of failures toss the rules overboard for expediency. The flash finish saves the country. Convincing." - Kirkus Review. Hubin, p. 304.
