Item description from seller

© 1963: 2nd in the 'Zarathustra Refugee Planets' series of books. 3rd printing of 1974 paperback edition. DAW SF Books #UY1217. Originally published in 1963 as part of Ace Double F-242 under the title 'Castaway's World':- Synopsis: When a ship filled with refugees from a cosmic catastrophe crash-landed on an unmapped world their outlook was precarious. Their ship was lost, salvage had been minor, and everything came to depend on one bright young man accidentally among them. He was a trainee planet-builder - a polymath. It would have been his job to foresee all the problems necessary to set up a safe home for humanity. But the problem was that he was a mere student - and that he had been studying the wrong planet:_ Review(s): "Brunner writes about the future as if he and the reader were already living in it" - New York Times:- (original cost $1.25).
