"A vivid and angry novel that exposes the corruption and decadence," blah blah blah. Whatever Signet needed to do to create the impression that this really isn't a dirty book. Those GI's in the upper right corner aren't fooled for a minute.
A suspense thriller. Why of course. This is a fine illustration. Well-executed, composed, good use of chiarascuro. Also, she's pretty much naked, the dress being mostly a suggestion for the sake of decorum. Okay, it appears we're edging into areas of questionable taste, according to the synopsis. Also, why is the young man named after a sandwich?

Space spheres and violent volcanoes, what more could a boy growing up in the suburbs in the 1960s want?
