"First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?" -- Hadden, Contact

I can bend minds with my spoon.

Wow. "The first girl..." 60's, eh?

Gasp is right! But the books aren't. 8)

Here are more hints:

Another book by the author is Operation Terror. The name "Jenkins" is of some importance.

BTW, my bad, the original publication date was during the 1950s, not the '60s (my copy is a reprint that had the date of the original buried in fine print). :roll:

Never heard of the book, but "Murray Leinster" was the pen name of Will F. Jenkins, that I know.
