THE SKY BLOCK.
New York, Toronto: Rinehart & Company, Inc., [1953]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Suspense thriller with science fiction element of weather control, in the modern era these novels would became known as techno-thrillers. "The Army, FBI, G-2, civilian scientists and Platt Vencel, who has been unceremoniously appropriated for his knowledge of the mountain caves and tunnels, on the hunt for the weather wrecker that has been devastating the U. S. Conflict within the blindman's buff of agencies, murders, and a record of failures toss the rules overboard for expediency. The flash finish saves the country. Convincing." - Kirkus Review. Foxing to board edges, inked store stamp to front free end paper, a very good copy in a very good price clipped dust jacket with mild shelf wear to spine ends and corner tips, spine panel a bit age darkened. (21976). Item #21976
