1972163033Garden City: Doubleday 1972. Octavo cloth. First edition. "In the twenty-second century Earth and men of a para-universe establish an ideal energy exchange. Through Earthmen's electron pump and the para-men's position pump the energy needs of both worlds are satisfied without energy loss to either. A few probing skeptics men and para-men learn that in time the exchange will explode our Sun but both scientific establishments ignore their alarm. The 'fathers' of the energy pumps puffed with pride and selfishness will not allow their reputation doctrine and achievement to be jeopardized .
