 first published date is^W was wrong and should^W has been corrected to 1960

the short novel version ''serialized'' in startling stories vol.25 #3, 4/1952, may've been abridged - or an earlier, somewhat shorter - version; i've not attempted to compare the word-counts.

the first edition is the avalon books h/cvr published by thomas bouregy & co. in h/cvr in 1960
