Panther Books #2019. Previous owner's name to inside front cover:- Contents: Silent Brother / Between The Dark And The Daylight / And Then She Found Him / The Skirmisher / The Man Who Tasted Ashes / Lower Than Angels / Contact Between Equals / Dream Of Victory / The Peasant Girl:- Synopsis: In his latest science fiction volume Algis Budrys, author of 'The Unexpected Dimension' and 'Who?' continues to cast a scorching eye at life as it is lived today, skilfully extrapolating a present trend into the future, or presenting a current social problem in a new light. The stories are varied in mood and theme, yet they are consistent in two respects; they take an ironic view of mankind and its prospects, and the quality of writing is uniformly high. 'Silent Brother' - The members of an interstellar expedition return to Earth, bringing with them a strange parasitic infection that affects humans in the most extraordinary way. 'Lower Than Angels' - Imperialism in the Space-Age: an earth-traveller arrives on an alien planet to survey its exploitation potential and finds a gentle race of aliens who mistake him for a god. 'The Skirmisher' - A detective is worried by a seemingly un-connected spate of accidental deaths that have one thing in common, a mysterious young man who claims to come from the future:- Review(s): "An SF master" - New Scientist / "If all goes well, he may become the best science fiction writer since Wells" - Kingsley Amis:- (original cost 3'6).
