Reception
Groff Conklin gave it a mixed review in Galaxy, noting that it held "plenty of excitement though not much maturity."[1] Boucher and McComas preferred it to the series's initial volume, but still found it "quite a notch below ... Leinster's adult work."[2] P. Schuyler Miller reported the novel was marked by "the fastest kind of action" and "the feeling of technical authenticity."[3]
