I’m glad you are enjoying it. It is so long since I read it that I can 
hardly remember anything about it other than the plot. I agree that it 
would make a good film but SF films in those days were either “cowboys 
in space” or horror movies like “The Thing”.
Another good story of his is “Dark Universe” but that would have made a 
better radio play than a movie.

They did not do too badly with Arthur C Clarke’s “The Sentinel” but you 
are probably right.
