Interior text

"It might be twenty years before another ship from Earth would try to reach the only other planet in the Solar System that had shown signs of being able to support life. During those uncountable days and nights, those years, he would be here alone. That was the most he could hope for — if he lived."

"A.E. van Vogt represents the highest possible development of the imagination designed principally as a vehicle for science-fiction adventures ... he has a flair equaled by few other writers in the field today."
— August Derleth
