Seller: Molly's Brook Books, Conway, MA, U.S.A.
Soft cover. Condition: Good. G+. Some modest handling and edgewear to wraps. Spine is cocked and heavily creased. Internally, no names, underlining, highlighting, marks, or dogears. Pages are only gently toned, mostly to the top margin, but still clear and perfectly legible. Glued binding remains supple and sound. Slightly better-preserved than most mass markets of this vintage, hence the 'plus'. An eminently acceptable copy found in Canada, in spite of the "Not for sale in Canada" statement on the back wrap. From the book: "PACIFICA was the jewel of the galaxy -- an electronic Utopia, the ultimate media democracy. until an unidentified starship, from far outside the system, appeared in Pacifican space. The message it brought seemed peaceful enough, but to Carlotta Madigan and Royce Lindblad it spelled deadly danger to all their work. For Pacifica was to be the next battleground in a bizarre struggle that had swept the galaxy. An epic novel of politics and sexuality in the far future." An oddly forgotten work by one of the most thought-provoking SF writers ever. Seller Inventory # 6184
