Produktbeschreibung

John Brunt was an irresponsible, thrill-seeking globetrotter. No adventure was too outlandish for him. But then he met Professor David Packard, who made the most outlandish proposal of all ... to send John all the way to Heavenby killing him and then bringing him back from the dead.
Now a cold chill was creeping through Brunt. He was a captive in a terrifying alien land, and his interrogator treated him like a mental case. There was nothing of Heaven here ... in fact, it was more like Hell.
And suppose Professor Packard couldn't bring him back from wherever it was he'd been sent? Suppose he really was dead and had to stay in this world of madness forever?

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.
