Livre Edition originale
Octavo, boards. First U.S. edition. The UK edition published by Victor Gollancz preceded by a few months. Complex, moving novel about Mick Rose, who runs a courier service for genetic engineering corporations with his best friend Choe Ashton, and Isobel Avens, Mick's true love whose obsession with flying leads her to subject herself to genetic modification. "SIGNS OF LIFE is something of a rewrite of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's classic science-fiction novel ROADSIDE PICNIC (1972) . yet the textures and tones of this story come closer to horror than to anything else. Indeed, of the handful of texts within the genre devoted to ecological horror, SIGNS OF LIFE is probably the most powerfully accomplished." - Rob Latham, Necrofile: The Review of Horror Literature #27 (1998), p. 5. Publisher's promotional sheet laid in. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#164686).

Livre Edition originale
Octavo, boards. First edition. Second book of the Viriconium sequence. A sequel to THE PASTEL CITY (1971), "a sword-and-sorcery tale" that "borders on SF by virtue of its distant future setting and the conceit that most of the 'magic' is in fact ancient, little-understood science. Despite its obvious debts to Vance and Moorcock, it's a very moody and stylish entertainment. The more complex sequel, A STORM OF WINGS (1980) is also borderline SF, though later books in the sequence can only be classified as fantasy." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 275. "Thematically rich and complexly plotted, the Viriconium series is one of the high achievements of fantasy since Tolkien." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 7-172. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-502. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 4A-133. Pringle, Modern Fantasy: The Hundred Best Novels 72. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#30214).
