Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Etat : Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1st Edition. © 1999: A stand-alone novel by Richard Calder. 1st edition, 1st printing paperback. Ex-library book with usual markings:- Synopsis: When the Venusians arrived, it all changed. Eaters of our souls, the young women - as they appeared - caused a psychogeographic event to separate the old west of the USA from the rest of the planet. Now, in the 1950's, gunslingers and shootists still ply their trade; good-time girls still hang out in bars; and no modern technology will work. But good old Venusian know-how is in demand to help the US win the Cold War. John Calder has one of the most original imaginations in the history of science fiction. Here he introduces us to John Twist, shootist. To Miss Viva Venera, Venusian necrobabe, who hungers for Twist's soul. And to Nicola E Newton, a young girl who is drawn to them both and whose life - and death - will never be the same. The illegitimate child of Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven' and 'Dr Strangelove', yet wholly original, 'The Twist' will enthrall, amuse and shock:- Review(s): ""Stunning" - Science Fiction Age / "As rich, dense and intricate as any recent SF" - The New York Review Of Science Fiction / "Brilliant" - Washington Post Book World / "Dark, edgy and inflicted with just the right degree of lyricism" - William Gibson:- (original cost £5.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Near Fine: Small signs of wear. 2003 Edition. © 2002: 2nd in the 'Merlin Codex' series of books. 1st printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: Robert Holdstock seamlessly blends myth and history into a fabulous tale of Merlin, hundreds of years before the coming of Arthur. In this acclaimed sequel to 'Celtika', Merlin is returning to Alba, the future England, with his companions, the crew of the resurrected Argo. Wandering the paths of the world, husbanding his magic to keep himself from ageing, Merlin eschews, for the most part, the affairs of men. Few are those he deigns to call 'friend' and fewer those who welcome his friendship - it is not safe to walk for long in the wanderer's strategies. Those who do, both willing and unwilling, must usually pay a price. Caught up in events beyond their ken are characters destined to become the very stuff of legend: the mythic champion Jason; Urtha and his vengeful children; the northern sorceress Niiv; and Kinos, Jason's son, whose appearance is both terrible and tragic. And at the centre, moving along his never-ending path, is Merlin himself, an enchanter in the prime of his life, reckless, curious, powerful, yet a stranger to his own past - a past that is catching up with him:- Review(s): "Quite simply, one of the books of the year" - Infinity Plus / "Robert Holdstock is a powerful mythmaker.

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Etat : Very Good: Light signs of wear. 2003 Edition. © 2002: 1st in the 'Dread Empire's Fall' series of books. 1st printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: The empire of the Shaa had lasted 10 millennia. 10,000 years of terror, infinite violence and oppressive, brutal order, legitimised by The Praxis, the harsh code of ethics that they imposed on the races they conquered. But the Shaa began to commit ritual suicide when it became clear that their near immortality came at a price. For each Shaa there would come a time when their vast minds were no longer capable of absorbing new information: their memories were full. Now the Shaa are no more, but the terror and violence are only beginning. The death of the last Shaa leaves the galaxy-wide empire leaderless, and into this power vacuum flow the pretenders to the throne: the Naxids, oldest client race of the Shaa, who believe themselves inheritors of the empire; and a frail alliance of the remaining races, including humanity. And so, the story of a dread empire's fall begins. Walter Jon Williams returns to the forefront of imaginative fiction with this dazzling epic of alien politics and galactic warfare.
