Note: On the 1946 Gollancz hardcover edition: "This edition includes a one-page "Publisher's Note" by Victor Gollancz, which publishes for the first time the (accurate) statement that of the small 1920 first edition of Arcturus, "596 copies were sold and 824 'remaindered'." — Wormwoodiana, 4 September 2017.
Synopsis: After a strange interstellar journey, Maskull, a man from Earth, awakens alone in a desert on the planet Tormance, seared by the suns of the binary star Arcturus. As he journeys northward, guided by a drumbeat, he encounters a world and its inhabitants like no other. At the end of his arduous and increasingly mystical quest waits a dark secret and an unforgettable revelation.
