Edition originale
Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Ace Books 64460. Geston's earlier novel, LORDS OF THE STARSHIP (1967), is set "In a far future [in which] a nation whose ancestors once built starships attempts to duplicate their achievement, though the country no longer has the appropriate technology and must sped many generations on the project. OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON (1969) is set in the same desolate far future and deals with the last of the many wars that have laid it to waste. Related novels are THE DAY STAR (1972) and THE SIEGE OF WONDER (1976). Grim and somber stories, with some fine imagery and a uniquely bitter ennui." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-434. "A brilliant picture of a meaningless world of misunderstood prophecy and misappropriate technology which fights the battle of Armageddon, finds to its distaste it still exists, picks itself up, dusts itself down, then does it again and again and again." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 270. Mild rubs to covers, a touch of tanning to inner surface of covers, binding pressure creases to spine panel, a very good, unread copy. (#158022).

Livre Edition originale
Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. "In a bemired near future godlike aliens arrive with the possibility of a cure for humanity's woes, but of course it turns out that they have complex motives. The author's first new novel in almost two decades, and, as such, a minor event." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 240-241. "Geston's writing has improved, but there have been some changes I regret. Even as he has moved towards greater realism, he has toned down the flamboyant imagination that made him so attractive in the past." - Andy Robertson, Interzone. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#70625).
