Note: This was O'Brien's debut novel, published by Atheneum in 1968. He wrote a new version of the final chapter for the first British edition (Gollancz, 1973). The 1988 Collier Books edition (numerous printings) includes both of the alternative final chapters: first the original as "Safe at Oakstable", then the British as "A Different Conclusion". In contemporary review of the first edition, Kirkus (above, very negative) observed that O'Brien needed "eight pages of explanation at the end".
