Blurb: "Without doubt one of the most exciting, continuously complex and richly patterned science-fiction novels ever written.-GROFF CONKLIN
"Set in the year 2650 A.D., when contact has been established with other planets, the story is that of Gilbert Gosseyn who discovers a galactic plot against the planets Earth and Venus. Gosseyn sets out to thwart the galactic war and finds himself alternately on Venus and Earth at the will and behest of his manipulator...
"How he succeeds and how he discovers the identity of his manipulator make up the story of this novel... whose status as an adventure novel is not affected by the strange events which befall Gosseyn from the first to the last page of this exciting book. -AUGUST DERLETH”
