If you were looking for a fallen star, would you go happily off to the North Pole and dig holes into the seas-bed, grubbing for pieces of rock? You wouldn't? Neither would Julian Cole. He was dragged there. Would you choose as companions a cashiered astronomer whose capacity was purely alcoholic, a pneumatic woman whose walk alone was enough to set a man to itching, plus a collection of failures and misfits scooped from the gutters of New York. Neither did Julian. They picked him. And when this bungling crew of heterogeneous hoboes stumbled on to a world shattering discovery, would you believe them? Julian had to. He was there. Invited to join an expedition to the North Pole, science writer Julian Cole expected nothing more exciting than the occasional polar bear. But that was before he met his companions: the eccentric, egomaniac Farmsworth and his outrageous wife, who could look sexy even in a parka and red flannel longjohns; Dr. Wentz, trying to drown a mysterious past in suicidal alcoholism; and the crazy albino Elvers, whose own secret spanned 15,000 years and half the solar system... 1st Arrow 1977 paperback edition, vg+ In stock shipped from our UK warehouse Scanned, converted, re-formatted, proofed and eBook creatin by Jerry.
