FROM OUTER SPACE. [New York]: Avon Publications, Inc., [1957]. Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First paperback edition. Avon Books T-175. An early example of a theme that became popular in the 1950s: the apparently normal human being next to you might be a human body highjacked by an alien intelligence. In this story, two such 'highjackers' arrive on earth, one a detective, the other his quarry, who is planning monstrous crimes. They soon take over human bodies and resume their chase. Clement's first SF book. First published in 1950 as NEEDLE. Reginald 03080A. Slight spine roll, a nearly fine, unread copy. (#144011).
