Paperback Library 52-357; 10/1966; First edition by Publisher; 159-Pages; Demon with Wings painted cover; Speculative fiction that blends psychological tension with cosmic dread.

As they grow, it becomes clear that they are not simply gifted but fundamentally other. Their presence begins to warp the social fabric of the settlement: adults become fearful, factions form, and paranoia spreads. The children themselves remain calm, watchful, and increasingly unified in purpose. Nuclear World War Three ** Minor creasing to top edge of front cover. Painted Front Cover (illustrator). Book.…
