About This Book
A short science fiction adventure of the beetle named Dworn, published in the science and fiction magazine, Imagine, in the January 1955 issue.Extract:"The beetle woke from a dramless sleep, yawned, stretched cramped limbs and smiled to himself. In the west the sunset's last glow faded. Stars sprang out in the clear desert sky, dimmed only by the white moon that rose full and brilliant above the eastern horizon."
