Produktbeschreibung

The old vicarage in a small Cornish fishing town is at the centre of some very mysterious happeningsthe unexplained appearance of a small, female figure, crudely modelled out of children's plasticine; a weird, hypnotic force that exhilarates and lures; optical illusions that place familiar objects where they should not be.
Is the human race being used in some kind of extraterrestrial experiment? And what would have happened without the suspected presence of a curious and protective spirit?

Autorenporträt

John Richard Newton Chance was born in Streatham Hill, London, in 1911, the son of Dick Chance, a managing editor at the Amalgamated Press. He studied to become a civil engineer, and then took up quantity surveying, but gave it up at 21 to become a full-time writer. He wrote for his father's titles, including "Dane, the Dog Detective" for Illustrated Chips, and a number of stories for the Sexton Blake Library and The Thriller Library. He went on to write over 150 science fiction, mystery and children's books and numerous short stories under various names, including John Lymington, John Drummond, David C. Newton, Jonathan Chance and Desmond Reid. Including 20+ SF potboilers, adding that he "made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the UK publisher) at a chapter a week". His novel Night of the Big Heat was adapted to television in 1960 and to film, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, in 1967.
