THE PHAETON CONDITION

by Douglas R. Mason ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 13, 1972

The unlikely hero of the latest save-the-world-from-pollution SF novel is a poetry-quoting accountant who's as ept at fisticuffs as at factor analysis. Making a routine audit, he discovers that a giant conglomerate is siphoning off funds into a secret project while the world hovers at the brink of environmental disaster. The plot holds few surprises but style and characters are quirky enough to be interesting.
