This Island Earth's thrills and romance begin when engineer Cal Meacham places a routine order for parts; he never dreams he is making himself a pawn in a struggle for galactic supremacy.
A fixup novel derived from three stories appearing in Thrilling Wonder Stories in 1949 and 1950.
The 1955 film version, directed by Joseph Newman, is one of the best-known science fiction films of the 1950s.
