Weinbaum's vivid descriptions of the planet Kioga and its inhabitants bring the story to life, while the fast-paced plot keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.Cannot the President of the United States take a slight rest, ' snapped Jeffers, 'without a pack of jackals snarling for his corpse?' His voice broke. His eyes wavered huntedly for an instant. Then he coughed, lowered the pitch of his voice, and continued incisively, 'Kindly return to the Senate, and inform your associates that Steel Jeffers is alive--and in good health and sane! Another occurrence like this will compel me to dissolve the Congress!'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
