High Vacuum is a science fiction novel by Charles Eric Maine. It was first published in 1957 by Hodder & Stoughton.
"Maine's style is stiff and pompous, full of tautologies, but it moves the story along purposefully; his characters are oversimplified but vivid and forceful...The only thing really wrong with the book, in fact, is the science in it. Maine's physics is bad, his chemistry worse...The gross errors in this novel are in the area of common knowledge (as if a Western hero should saddle up a pueblo and ride off down the cojones): any one of them could have been corrected by ten minutes with a dictionary or an encyclopedia."
