London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1966. Octavo, boards. First British and first hardcover edition. Humans attempt to contact the alien inhabitants of the extremely inhospitable heavy gravity planet Tenebra. A scrupulously scientific adventure which hews closely to the author's earlier success, MISSION OF GRAVITY. The result is not quite as effective, though. - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition
