Hi! You're looking at a very good condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a classic cold war thriller written by RAY WARD TAYLOR--the book is a collectible STATED FIRST EDITION and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $4.95 price in the lower corner of the front inner flap.  This book is in very good condition and is a former library copy with typical markings and a Brodart's plastic sleeve on the cover, which is attached to the front board; the book has a light forward list of the spine end, light scuffing and slight browning on the upper and lower page edges, light wear on the upper and lower edges and light shelfwear and light browsing wear but NO other significant imperfections!  The book is titled Doomsday Square: A Dramatic Novel of the Secret Race to Develop a Weapon More Devastating than the Atomic Bomb and it was written by RAY WARD TAYLOR; it was published by E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. in 1966 and is a STATED 1st EDITION copy.

What happens if the United States develops a new, deadly "terminal" weapon, and before it is perfected, someone breaks security and news of the weapon leaks out? What happens if, in the middle of the resulting international crisis, the President of the United States is temporarily incapacitated? This taut, suspenseful novel gives convincing and edge-of-the-chair answers, as the director of the secret U.S. project struggles to keep on top of events, playing doomsday poker with the Russians at the same time as he is desperately trying to track down treason within the U.S. installation.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
