Interesting early effort,

This review is from: Echo Round His Bones (Paperback)
Disch is amazing, and no one thinks like he does. While this, his fourth novel hints at greatness under the aegis of a sci-fi pulp romance. And its really fun. A matter-transfer device splits Captain Nathan Hansard into a ghost-like being that can walk through solid matter. Told from the "ghost" perspective (while Hansard does not know he is ghost), he encounters others who have fallen to the same fate as they conspire to save the world from atomic destruction. While the book borrows slightly from Budrys' Rogue Moon with elements of Stranger in Strange Land, the themes within seem far from tired. Great and interesting piece in the Disch chronology.
