ODYSSEY TO EARTHDEATH

Belmont paperback, November 1968. Cover artist uncredited.

"Psych-Sickness is the term they used when a citizen of cityside rebelled against the wholesale manufacture of death...Against the fact-clock which voiced the conquer-kill count each minute...Against the daily launching of bio-bombs into Landsend, to "keep the peace." strangely, not one citizen of cityside had been killed by a Landsender. But the citysiders were being lost in droves to psych-sickness. Circus was the answer. The plan of the brutal Supreme Priestman Pume was to alleviate the Psych-Sickness. Or did he intend to create a greater evil?"
