Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First mass market edition. Geopolitical thriller set in the near future about the activities of Middle Eastern international terrorists. Ing's "first novel, SOFT TARGETS (1979), interestingly copes with terrorism in a near future setting, though a besetting weakness for melodrama diverts attention from the serious points he makes about the fatal precariousness of societies in the advanced Western World." - SFE (online). "A near future thriller in which a media campaign is waged against international terrorists -- who, it is believed, may be defeated by ridicule . an interesting attempt to deal with a major modern problem." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 333. Reginald 26286. Top edge of pages lightly spotted, a bright, nearly fine, unread copy. (#156789). Seller Inventory # 156789
