What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition, first printing, in the vibrant publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper designed by Michelle Moschella.

Described by the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction as 'a bleak, poisoned exercise in theology which has been described as his single finest work', set on a drab and harsh off-world human colony, and exploring the difference between reality and perception.

With its plot of successive murders, the work has been compared to Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None'.

A relatively uncommon first edition from the author, as the majority of the first edition were either pulped or sent to libraries.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dust wrapper. A touch of shelf wear to back strip tail, otherwise externally fine. Rear free endpaper removed. Dust wrapper exceptionally vibrant, with a touch of rubbing to back strip head and tail, and rear wrap a touch age toned. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
