Description: Mission of Gravity Science Fiction Paperback Book by Hal Clement Pyramid 1954 THE GIANT. DISK-SHAPED WORLD of Mesklin was an Earthman's nightmare - so cold that the seas were liquid methane and the snow frozen ammonia, with crushing gravity of up to 700 times that of Earth. No human being could explore Mesklin's surface. Yet - a desperately needed research rocket was down on Mesklin. Someone had to go after it. That someone was the strangest explorer ever to appear in science-fiction - the Mesklinite merchant seaman, Barlennan-fifteen inches long, thirty-six legs, weighing hundreds of pounds. And, as it turned out, the sharpest trader an Earthman ever met! Book is in acceptable condition. General shelf and corner wear. Cover fraying along the edges.
