Publisher's Synopsis
It was Diana Brackley who put the milk out for the cat; who dropped a speck of Lichen in it by mistake; who noticed how the Lichen stopped the milk turning. But it was Francis Saxover, the famous Biochemist, who carries on from there, who developed antigerone, the cure for ageing; who then tried to suppress a discovery which was certainly in the megaton range. And so it was Diana Brackley who went to town with the antigerone in one of John Wyndham's gayest and most satirical forays into the fantastic.
