About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, [1965]. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some mild dust soiling and two light blue horizontal lines on the verso of the jacket (offset from a previous jacket protector) with slight bleed through, most noticeable to lighter background areas of jacket. (15390). Octavo, cloth. Tale of the far future, set on Earth, about a clash of extraterrestrial cultures. "A detective/political thriller set on a near-Utopian future Earth on the cusp of being outstripped by a more rapidly developing colony world, posits that racial prejudice, now eliminated from human culture, will resurge as irrational hatred (by a few) of even benign Aliens." - John Clute, SFE (online).
