Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Fair: Heavier signs of wear. Cover Art: Paul Brierley (illustrateur). 1st Edition. © 1970: A collection of 7 short stories that are a part of the 'Instrumentality Of Mankind' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing. Edited & with an introduction by Anthony Cheetham:- Contents: The Game Of Rat And Dragon / On The Sand Planet / Under Old Earth / Alpha Ralpha Boulevard / The Ballad Of Lost C'mell / The Crime And The Glory Of Commander Suzdal / A Planet Named Shayol:- Synopsis: A cosmos of beauty and terror on the far side of time. The universe you will explore in these stories by a famous science fiction author is surely one of the most colourful and weird ever conceived. Untold millennia in the future, a thousand planets throughout the galaxy acknowledge one ruler - the Instrumentality of Mankind. Giant planoforming ships travel the hazardous spaceways. Men and women genetically 'built' from animals do civilizations labour - and plot in secret, planning revolution. But the hell-planet of Shayol with its bizarre torments awaits those who rebel against the dictatorial yoke of the Instrumentality:- Review(s): "Cordwainer Smith's vision and talent represent something unique in the field of imaginative SF" / "His style is rich and sharp, his moods and images are exciting, and the physical things he describes often seem to take on metaphysical perspective. His people are lonely figures, archetypal, who inhabit haunting spacescapes that mingle horror and beauty =- Romantic, in the best sense. He has everything that is admired in Ray Bradbury and much more depth, scope and intellectual direction" - New Worlds- (original cost 5' (£0.25)). N° de réf. du vendeur 14.005.00052
