OUT OF THE DEEPS

By

Publisher: Ballantine

A British import is well tailored and presents its gruesome conjecture in terms of an attractive personnel when Watson and his wife, Phyllis, are the first to report on the unnatural phenomena of fireballs- which drop in the deeps. The threat of an interplanetary invasion becomes real when liners are sunk, sea-tanks and mammoth tentacled eggs raid the coastal towns, the land is submerged, and many meet a watery grave until ultrasonics provide the counteroffensive. Smooth.
