Description: The Outward Urge Author: WYNDHAM, John [pseudonym of John BEYNON] (1903-1969) and PARKES, Lucas [pseudonym of John BEYNON] Title: The Outward Urge Publication: London: The Science Fiction Book Club by arrangement with Michael Joseph, 1961 Description: [Science fiction] SCIENCE FICTION BOOK CLUB EDITION. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.208. Publisher's grey cloth, spine backed in blue. With the typographic dust-jacket. Some light toning throughout, textblock edges faintly spotted. Light toning to jacket backstrip. Some gentle edgewear. Jacket laminated. Very good. A vast, speculative, galactic tale with an interesting publication history, the two credited authors John Wyndham and Lucas Parkes being two pen-names for the same person. Wyndham's publisher thought the story was more hard sci-fi than the other 'Wyndham' works, closer to what an earlier 'Parkes' book may have resembled.
