Book club edition. Jacket spine lightly toned. Top page ridge lightly foxed. 1967 Hard Cover. 190 pp. The protagonist, Captain Ellender Tracy, called Trace by his comrades, is a product of customs similar to those of the Spartans. At 12, he was placed in a military camp where he was trained to be a soldier in the imperial space navy. He knows that what is best is what makes Earth and humans more powerful. However, he and those he serves meet up with a force they never expected: a robot invented by one man on a conquered world that is even more powerful than his creator ever knew.

This is the hardcover SFBC book club edition of the original Doubleday edition. Like the Doubleday publication it has "First Edition" on its copyright page. It also has the book club first printing code "11 I" (March 1967) on the bottom of page 187. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by light bumps on its spine ends. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in very good condition: whole and unmarked, with a 2" crease in its front bottom edge, light wear on the top of its spine, and some sun-toning on its spine and flap folds, but otherwise bright and unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
