 doubled with "the brain stealers" by murray leinster (1954), q.v.

first published in hardcover by a. a. wyn 1953 with typographical d-j design

(someone in pocket books, inc. editorial c.1973-4 though it worthwhile resurrecting this novel, ghu alone knows why, and it was duly published in 3/74 with gertrude overlooking an excellently-well designed cover with very fetching artwork by lou marchetti. this was by far and away the best part of the book.)

 Review
adventures of a man shrunk by being struck by lightning to just ½" high who befriends a warrior ant; "atta" is the name of the ant:

"aside from the author's...relentless disregard of natural history...the principal irritant in this story is the hero's absolutely impenetrable stupidity..." °

° - "in search of wonder" by damon knight, 1967 advent publishers, chicago (usa)
