Description:
New York: Scribner's, 1940. First printing. Hardcover. Very good. Very good, green cloth hardcover binding with light discoloration. Lacks dust jacket.Published posthumously under the pseudonym “Willard Rich” a few weeks after its author, William T. Richards, took his own life. Richards worked for Alfred Lee Loomis and his novel was a thinly veiled account of a real-life laboratory located about 40 miles north of New York City nicknamed “Tuxedo Park.” Loomis went on to establish the MIT Rad Lab and later was instrumental in setting up the Manhattan Project. Legend has it that Loomis had all copies bought up and destroyed. Obviously he missed a few, but the book is uncommon, especially in dust-jacket.
