SLEEPING PLANET

Panther SF paperback, 1968. Cover artist uncredited.

"You may not be sleepy now.

But give yourself time.

Give the entire population of the Solar System time. 
About nine hours worth. 

It is the twenty-fifth century and the Terran Federation, a small but technically advanced stellar union, is engaged in a long and indecisive war against the Llralan 'Empire of Four Thousand Suns'. The Llralans have discovered a toxic dust which, by means of robotic ships, they spread over Earth, Mars and Venus; and the three billion inhabitants of these planets collapse into unconsciousness. 

But there are ten exceptions...Will they be able to save the galaxy?"
