I don't know if anyone has heard of this much less read it, but it is highly recommended by me. It was first published in 1966 and one can find it on Amazon, that is where I found my copy. Without saying too much, after WWIII (you know, the nuclear one), aliens capture 7 remaining human for future exploration of earth. A friend lent me his copy to read and it took me over 20 years to run down a copy for myself.

I do have the book on my shelves; I didn't realise that "A. J. Merak" was a British author, one John S. Glasby, who used lots of pen-names - "Ray Cosmic" was a good one, though the other one I'd actually heard of was Karl Zeigfried (or Zeigfreid). The fifties were his busy time, writing mainly for low-rent UK publishers like Badger Books. The good old isfdb provides this cover for the 1959 first appearance of the book:



The only other book of his I've got, again from Belmont, is The Frozen Planet, also originally seen in 1959 - the Badger paperback has the title No Dawn and No Horizon...
