The book is firmly bound in red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, the cloth is lightly marked and the extremities are slightly bumped and rubbed. The text block is slightly foxed, dusty and age toned. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, with a later wartime over-pricing label to the front flap, it is quite rubbed and age toned, more so to the spine, with minor nicks and short closed tears to the edges.

Gloag's first published novel, Wellsian science fiction, telling of an advanced future species assessing the current state of humanity, with much reference to the tensions and fears of the 1930s, the prospect of imminent war in Europe, air raids and the end of the British Empire.
