Wells (1866-1946) one of the greatest sci-fi authors of the twentieth century, <I>Star-Begotten</B></I> is a tale in which "science, prophecy, and a keen appreciation of today's problems are skillfully blended. Credibly, plausibly, he leads his reader from one astounding hypothesis to another, and arrives at a conclusion which is logical, satisfying, and altogether fantastic" (dust jacket). The dust jacket is slightly worn and soiled with a few minor tears at edges. The endpapers are discolored due to age, but the inside is clean. A review is glued onto a front fly page.
