Item description from seller

This is a mass market paperback book. The book is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book is in generally clean condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some lightish bumping and rubbing. There is some lightish rubbing to the front and rear spine joints as well. The text pages are generally clean, but has quite noticeable generalized toning throughout. "From 1949 to 1953, Clement's first three novels were two-, three-, and four-part Astounding serials under Campbell: Needle (Doubleday, 1950) , Iceworld (Gnome Press, 1953) , and Mission of Gravity (1954) , his best-known novel, published by Doubleday's Science Fiction Book Club (established 1953). The latter novel features a land and sea expedition across the superjovian planet Mesklin to recover a stranded scientific probe. The natives of Mesklin are centipede-like intelligent beings about 50 centimeters long. Various episodes hinge on the fact that Mesklin's fast rotational speed causes it to be considerably deformed from the spherical, with effective surface gravity that varies from approximately 3 gn at the equator to approximately 700 gn at the poles.
