Produktbeschreibung

It began with the sound of a beating heart ... four thousand feet below the surface of the earth. Something was living down there, in a strange void that refused to respond to science's probings: an impossible life living in an impossible place.
An impossible life that had known birth in a time before Earth's fiery surfaces had cooled!
And now that life was awakening, stirring under the probe of men who were unable to refrain from questioning the unexplained ... stirring, and preparing to come forth from its ages-old resting place.
Men wanted to believe that the creature would be friendly ... but it came from a world that existed before men were created.
How could it find kinship with such totally strange creatures ... and would it even be able to recognize that men were intelligent, rational beings?

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.
