CLOSE TO CRITICAL. London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1966. Octavo, boards. First British (and first hardcover) edition. "Humans attempt to contact the alien inhabitants of the extremely inhospitable heavy gravity planet Tenebra.

The result is not quite as effective, though." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 71. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-257.
