Helpful Score: 1

I first read this book decades ago, and recalled a particularly haunting, even ethereal image - which recently inspired me to search for a hardback copy. It's an old-fashioned rather formulaic sci-fi yarn, which probably wouldn't impress younger readers with modern tastes. My memory was accurate - by far the most memorable element of the book is one passage, rather near the end; therefore my measly three and a half compromise stars. But I'll be keeping the book awhile longer - I'll want to read it again in a year or two. If you've never read it, and still enjoy the old pioneers of sci-fi, give it a try. It's a quick read!
