Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book Club Edition. Cameron, a tall, testy, whisky-drinking, nationalist-minded, Scottish physicist, may not have been an astronomer, but he knew the off things in the sky when he saw them. From an Australian mountaintop where he was advising on the location of a radiotelescope he saw what looked like Mars, in the wrong spot in the sky. But it wasn't Mars at all, it was a supernova . no, not a supernova but a quasar. Knowing what would happen, Cameron dashed home to Scotland and found himself at a crossroads of his life. In the face of total catastrophe, and of intense heat, darkness and rain, he took over as natural leader with both the north and south of the United Kingdom turning to him for help. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. DJ shows only minor shelf wear with some rubbing on rear panel and is not price clipped. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is tight and square with no fading on boards. Corners not bumped. Slight wrinkling on spine. An excellent reading copy.

UK SFBC Edition. © 1973: A stand-alone novel by Fred & Geoffrey Hoyle. 1st printing of 1974 edition. SFBC #1085:- Synopsis: "Gun tigaigh duim Dhe oirbh uar eighein!", "May the wrath of God strike you some time", Cameron muttered as he stood at the side of the monument to Southern arrogance, the Culloden battlefield. A scientist by profession, but also, by birth, a natural leader in the Highlands of Scotland, Cameron soon found himself at a crossroads of his life as, in the face of total catastrophe, both North and South turned to him for help:- Review(s): "Fred and Geoffrey Hoyle have taken the world of astronomy as the background to their science-fiction thriller, set not only in London and Scotland, but in the United States and Australia as well. The result is an intriguing fast-pace novel with some fascinating glimpses of the world of astronomy - and a theme that will delight admirers of Fred Hoyle's magnificent early novel 'The Black Cloud':- (original cost unmarked).
