An accidental experiment involving dyes and crystalline growth produces something that challenges the boundary between matter and life. Scientists and opportunists try to understand and control the discovery, while its behavior makes their ambitions increasingly hazardous.
The novel moves through three parts—Bunglers, Amateurs and The Professional—as competing experiments, theft and attempts at mastery bring unexpected consequences. First published complete in the Winter 1930 Amazing Stories Quarterly, this edition preserves all fifteen chapters, Wesso’s illustrations and the matching original issue cover.
