"Eando Binder" is the pen-name for the collaborating team of the brothers Earl Binder and Otto Binder. (Earl died in 1965, so the late Sixties / early Seventies batch of books are by Otto Binder solo / any late revisions of early works can be attributed to him.)

Curtis Books [502-07113] 1971? paperback. Photo cover, 159 pages, 75 cent cover price. Condition is VG+: tight and almost square with flat spine; mild uniform age tanning. Light overall wear - more on back cover. This has stamps on the first page and page 85, and an extra one on the top page block. No other stamps, marks or writing.

Original magazine version was in Startling Stories March 1939. [Extent of any revisions is unknown.]

In 2050 A.D., the Earth spaceship Tycho lands on Iapetus, the 8th moon of Saturn, 900 million miles from the sun. Hugh Benning, minerologist, explores the world with his crew. After coming to a natural cave, the men begin to stagger and fall. Benning disappears into the mouth of the cave. The pilots gather up the limp forms and return them to Earth. Neither dead or alive - perhaps they are in a state of suspended animation? Can they be revived?
