Plot introductionThe novel concerns a lost race in the Gobi Desert that is technologically advanced through a combination of theosophy and superscience. ReceptionGroff Conklin, reviewing the 1953 edition, called it "a fairy tale for youngsters . . . written in a kindergarten style that is irritating to most modern readers."[1] Miller recommended the novel to collectors, but noted that "casual readers will probably be disappointed."[2]Everett F. Bleiler dismissed the novel as "a curiosity only," describing it as "curiously imprecise and wavery, with a fairytale atmosphere; weakly planned, with many unsatisfactory elements."[3]References1. ^"Galaxy's 5 Star Shelf", Galaxy Science Fiction, December 1953, p.87 2. ^"The Reference Library," Astounding Science Fiction, January 1954, pp.148 3. ^Everett F.
