First edition, first impression of this science fiction novel by the poet and leading Soviet historian Robert Conquest (1917-2015). Though best known for his academic work revealing the extent of Stalin's terror campaign, and his literary friendships with Larkin and Amis, Conquest was also a science fiction fan and had been a member of the Interplanetary Society since the 1940s. Together with Amis he edited the sci-fi anthology Spectrum, and the two also co-authored a novel, The Egyptologists (1965) (Guardian obituary August 5, 2015).
