Doubleday, 1953, hardcover with dust jacket. FIRST EDITION, so stated on copyright page. Pangborn\'s second novel (his first, the mystery "A-100," was published under the pseudonym "Bruce Harrison"). "West of the Sun" concerns six human astronauts stranded on the distant planet Lucifer, who must learn to survive along with the planet\'s two sentient native species. When a rescue ship finally arrives they decide they would rather remain to further develop the society they have established. While not Pangborn\'s best, this is still lyrical, poignant and inspiring. Views: 412
