Produktbeschreibung

It began with the sudden disappearance of the world's political and religious leaders.
Then strange objects were seen floating in the sky, followed by a terrifying scream of sound that filled the air all around the world.
The people were told that the world's leaders were attending a summit at the North Pole; that the objects were just high cloud formations, or spots before the eyes. And the scream? Just a scientific device that had gone astray.
The truth, however, was very different.
The Big Sound signalled the beginning of the total extinction of Earth.
And the world's leaders had found a way to escape to another planet while the rest of humanity perished.

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.
