Science Fiction Book Club 1973 hardcover (matches the Doubleday hardcover.) 206 pages, cover by Roger Zimmerman. Book is near-Fine to Fine (-) in a VG+ or better dustjacket. The book is very tight and almost square, no age tanning. No stamps, marks or writing. Dustjacket is in good shape with no tears - but some rubbing wear at left side of front cover; and more generalized rubbing/dirt? on back cover.

The Stone That Never Came Down - Europe trembles on the brink of holocaust; unemployment, inflation, and poverty are rampant; cities crumble from neglect; incompetent governments topple to military coups; bands of "godheads" bearing crosses are willing to use them as clubs while they commit acts of vandalism, violence, even murder. There is one hope for civilization: a mysterious new drug, VC, with the unparalled power to heighten sensory awareness and create total consciousness of what mankind has done for good or ill. But suddenly its creator, famed scientist Maurice Post, is found dead. His colleagues begin acting strangely, along with a handful of others… These pitiful few find it in their hands to try and stave off World War III and dictate a more rational destiny for mankind. Among them: a former TV cowboy star turned evangelist; a black radical; a successful thief; a reluctant soldier; and a teacher charged with corrupting youth.
