Bantam A-1292 (Jan., 1955). First Printing. Cover by Unknown Artist
Quoting from the back cover:
"Newts, it seemed, were harmless, useful and simple to train. They were very eager to please. They learned easily, they bred quickly; they prospered under practically any conditions.
"Utopia had arrived -- for humans.
"But then the newts began to understand their own strength -- and mankind's weakness!
"Here is a prophetic novel of a world so greedy that it gladly nourished the seeds of its own destruction."
