"T," first published in NEBULA 18, November 1956, and first collected in SPACE, TIME AND NATHANIEL (1957), a time-paradox story in which an ancient galactic race from the far future sends twelve missiles guided by bioengineered organisms through space and time to destroy Man's home world before humans achieve space flight. Very slight spine lean, owner's penciled signature on recto of first leaf, a nearly fine, unread copy. (#94439).
