Produktbeschreibung

A small English village wavers on the edge of destruction. It seems that someone can make Weston Abbas disappear and reappear at will.
The mystery is further complicated when the townspeople begin turning against each other as a result of poison pen letters. Suddenly a close community becomes disparate and nearly self-destructive.
And nature turns chaotic. Early ripening fields turn brown and brittle overnight, making harvesting impossible. Gardens become a tangle of weeds and dead summer flowers. The heat becomes appallingly oppressive.
The town and its people seem doomed to a slow and tortuous death unless someone can work out what exactly is happening. One man, Joss Darke, believes he has the answer, barring one possibility ... And if an extra-terrestrial force is responsible, then Weston Abbas is doomed to a painful death.

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.
