The book was a critical sensation, and was runner-up for the National Book Awards in 1977.
What was not known at the time of first publication, nor indeed when Galileo reissued this extraordinary book in 2011, was that the author had actually based this fiction on a real event: the 1897 attempt by S. A Andre to fly to the North Pole.
This is a new edition, the first in a uniform presentation of selected Harris works.
