Brief signed inscription in Merril's hand dated 4 September 1957 on front free endpaper: "To Chick Crumpacker / Cyril Judd." "Future society that has become stultified in a caste structure. Shows the difficulty of convincing people that their ideology does not reflect the true state of affairs." - Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 243. "The hero belongs to an almost monastic order of future warriors, whose members are thoroughly indoctrinated and sexually repressed. Naturally, he rebels -- which leads him on to picaresque and sometimes humorous adventures in the outside worlds. An enjoyable (though now rather dated) adventure story." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition, p. 164. A fine copy in fine dust jacket with some light wear at extremities. An attractive copy. (#153764).
