Description

Trouble With Lichen by John Wyndham. "'There are," said Francis Saxover, whose discovery forms the hub of this story, "quite half a dozen major discoveries only jus below the horizon at this moment: and nobody is making the least attempt to prepare for any of them." Consequently, when he made his greatest discovery and was able to offer the world 'one of the age-old dreams of man' - at a price - there was no competent body to handle it, nor even to advise him. And, as a man with few illusions, he was in sore need of advice, for. as he observed: 'This thing is in the megaton range, all right. Of course, it isn't as spectacular as the nuclear boys' fireworks, but it is more important - it is also more disruptive, and potentially a great deal more beneficial,' From the fly leaf of this book. The dust jacket has medium general wear with rubbing along the edges and some tape repairs with small chips but the book remains tight and bright.
