THE VOICELESS ONES.
New York: Walker and Company, [1974]. Octavo, boards. First U.S. edition. A Dr. Palfrey adventure. The Dr. Palfrey stories are "...enjoyable if a little sensational. The later development of the Palfrey series into the science fiction field is most interesting-on the surface they might appear to be thrillers concerning evil attempts to plague the world into submission, but the underlying messages are frightful and prophetic." - Pederson (ed.), St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers, (4th ed.), pp. 243-253. "It has been speculated that Dr Palfrey's secret organization, which is called Z5 and is staffed by men with near super powers, neatly bridges the gap between Doc Savage and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and probably inspired the latter." - SFE online. Head of spine slight bumped, a nearly fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with two small tears to upper rear panel and upper left corner of spine panel which are repaired on the verso with clear tape. (20900). Item #20900
