“Neuron World” by R. L. Fanthorpe. London: John Spencer & Co./Badger Books SF-108 (1965). Cover Art by Henry Fox.

“Her Dream Became a Nightmare as She Probed the Alien Ruins.”

 

From the back cover:

 

The human personality has been defined by leading psychologists as the integrated and dynamic organization of physical, mental, moral and social qualities. A personality is the product of heredity and environment. Every experience records itself in the neurons of the brain producing an almost infinite number of possible combinations. Brains are as individual as fingerprints.

 

In an infinite universe, however, there is a possibility that somewhere – separated by vast distances of Time and Space – two exactly similar brains exist. The strange telepathic bond between identical twins could operate between identical minds.

 

Melinda Tracey was a practical, intelligent, modern girl who didn’t believe in dreams – even recurring dreams – but her odd sleep experiences of the ruined city, and the strangely-suited figure who searched it, disturbed her considerably.

 

What incredible psychological bond linked Melinda to the lonely stranger, probing the wreckage of an alien metropolis?

Badger Books were published between 1959 and 1967 in a number of genres, predominantly war, westerns, romance, supernatural and science fiction. In common with other “pulp” or mass-market publishers of the time, Badger Books focused on quantity rather than quality. A new title in each of the major genres appeared each month, generally written to tight deadlines by low-paid authors. One of the most remarkable facts about Badger Books is that much of its output was produced by just two authors (using a range of house names and other pseudonyms). John Glasby (over 300 novels and short stories) and Robert Lionel Fanthorpe (over 200 novels and stories). [Wikipedia]
