Reading, Pennsylvania: Fantasy Press, 1947. Octavo, cloth. First edition. One of 500 numbered copies signed by van Vogt. This is number 129 inscribed to John I. Smith. On a super-continent, some 200 million years in Earth's future, the godlike but amnesiac hero Ptath struggles with a beautiful female protagonist. Sheer pulp fantasy, on the fringes of SF -- but then, everything van Vogt has written is sheer pulp fantasy.
