Item description from seller

The format is approximately 4.25 inches by 7 inches. 192 pages. Decorative front and back covers. Some page discoloration noted. C. C. MacApp, pseudonym of Carroll Mather Capps (27 November 1917 15 January 1971) was an American science fiction author. He was also a long-time benefactor of San Francisco chess. MacApp was a former president of the San Francisco Bay Area Chess League, and won the Northern California and San Francisco chess championship several times. He also wrote as Carroll J. Clem. His novella The Mercurymen was a finalist for the 1965 Nebula Award for Best Novella. Carroll M Capps' writing career began after illness forced his retirement with "A Pride of Islands" in May 1960 for If, with which magazine (and its stablemates) he was chiefly associated for the balance of his career. Though most of his work defers character development in favor of action-oriented plots, MacApp's last novel, Bumsider (1972), pays more attention to the development of his cast's personalities. In general he wrote clearly and excitingly, and his range was still growing at the time of his death. Selected short fiction was eventually assembled as Somewhere in Space and Other Stories. All life on earth had been destroyed in a quick and easy kill by the great and ruthless intergalactic Vulmot Empire. Only an elite group of spacemen survived the holocaust. The last earthlings, they were scattered wanderers through the galaxies, hiring out their fighting skills to whatever power needed them, yearly growing more bitter, dissolute, despairing. By now the pitiful remnants of the Space Corps lacked even the will to fightuntil a tantalizing promise from an enslaved race made them assemble one last time, for a mission only men with nothing to lose would attempt, for a final battle only desperate courage could win.…
