Hardcover. First edition (& 1st printing). SF novel, one of two written for Robert Hale - a publisher who produced books primarily for the library market (still flourishing in the 1970s) and so most titles are very uncommon: ''pseudonym of David Michael Heptonstall, UK author of two sf novels for Robert Hale Limited, THE ETERNITY MERCHANTS (1981), a space opera, and The Five Doors (early version as by ''Michael Stall'' in New Writings in SF 23 (1973, ed Kenneth Bulmer; exp 1981), whose ''doors'' (the first of which appears on Earth) are a succession of Stargates to other planets. The Michael Stall pseudonym is obviously derived from the author's real name. Robert Hale was a UK publishing firm which from 1936 - 1984, though mainly in the 1970s, published more than 450 sf novels, in hardbound editions, primarily for the library market. A large majority of titles originating with the firm were uniform in length (192 pages) and routine in substance, most being Space Operas varied with occasional Dystopias, though other forms of sf also featured'' (John Clute & David Langford/Encyclopedia of SF, 3rd Edition)'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 3rd Edition). Top page edges spotted, else a fine copy in an almost fine price-clipped dustjacket with a little dust-soiling to rear (white) panel. N° de réf. du vendeur 42916
