 this would appear to be the same printing as that bookcat item contributed by davie gordon; i do not know of a near-identical (to the second) third ace books mmpb printing, nor indeed of any further ace books printing/edition.

 serialised in new worlds #52, 53, 54; 10, 11, 12/1956 as "tourist planet";

don wollheim reportedly required the additional all-on space battle that appears in the ace books first edition and is retained in all further english language book publications of which i know.
