Note:
Published three years after #21, The Drought, a long break in this series.
- Revised for the 1966 Walker edition(?) (almost certainly revised by the author, if at all)
- The series bibliography at SFE3 reports some revision ("rev"), which may be expected because this was the first of more than 20 Dr. Palfrey stories published by Walker and Company for the US market.
- Library of Congress record LCCN 66016921 does not report any revision ("rev. ed." usually) and does report 191 pages, which matches the 1962 original. The same is true of library records found October 2018 at WorldCat.
Synopsis:
"The Terror ... brings back Dr. 'Sap' Palfrey who presumably perished in The Drought as did his wife Drusilla and most of mankind when the waters of the world dried up. Interest in Palfrey apparently never played out and he's back, a la Sherlock Holmes and just as busy. 'Sap' is put in charge of an international attempt to deflect an unidentified object with nuclear war head from reaching the earth. ..."
--review in "Crime on My Hands" by Vivian Mort, Chicago Tribune 1966-05-22 pN4
