Gathered together for the first time are seven strange stories of the future from the wondrous imagination of Philip E. High
Man was bringing life to the planets: a carefully balanced programme of flora and fauna, but that life had to come from Earth, pre-adapted to survive and flourish.

Praise for Philip E. High
'Philip E High's hard-action adventure-SF dominated the British magazines of the 1950s and 1960s... his preference is to tinker within the established genre spectrum, modifying ideas, picking up discarded threads here and there, meshing them together into startling juxtapositions, re-walking old or forgotten paths, albeit wearing new anti-grav spaceboots.' - Miles Higher
'... presents often interesting ideas in fast-paced, exciting and entertaining stories typical of the best of the Golden Age of science fiction.' - Eric Brown, Infinity Plus
