Milano, Feltrinelli, 1960. (mm. 180 x 110) Cartonato editoriale. pp. 363(1), (4). Del 1957 è il suo romanzo più popolare, La nebulosa di Andromeda (Tumannost' Andromedy), quasi una risposta in positivo alla distopia di libri come il Noi di Zamjatin e Il mondo nuovo di Aldous Huxley. Storia di un utopico genere umano affratellato nello sviluppo delle scienze e del benessere sociale, il romanzo fu tradotto in numerose lingue e letto da milioni di persone consacrando la fama di Efremov come scrittore; nello stesso tempo segnò un'epoca influenzando la successiva produzione fantascientifica (la c.d. "seconda ondata di fantascienza russa") non solo sovietica. Nel 1967 ne fu ricavato anche un film di successo, Tumannost Andromedy. Plenniki Zheleznoi Zvezdy ("La nebulosa di Andromeda. Prigionieri della Stella Ferrea"), che però non soddisfece Efremov. Si unisce il volume terzo, giugno 1966 della rivista Gamma otto che contiene di R. McKenna " Cacciatore torna a casa"
