I remember it as the first novel that I ever read all the way through. It opened with a hokey "The following manuscript was found in the laboratory of Professor ... , who disappeared mysteriously and has never been seen since." At the time, I seriously wondered whether the story might actually be true, and even considered doing a search through back-issue newspapers to see if they mentioned the professor's disappearance. --Charlie Harris, Bell Labs, Murray Hill (rabbit!xchar)
