Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1992 Edition. © 1991: 1st in the 'Company Wars' series of books. 1st printing of 1992 edition:- Synopsis: Wildcatters in space, deep in the big empty. Bird and Ben. Looking for the once in a lifetime strike that would make them rich. Hearing the distress call from a sector where no ship should be. Not telling Mama because Mama don't allow - almost anything. Company rules. Not OK by them, but you obeyed because if you crossed the Company, you'd never work again. Maybe not even go on living. So when they found the survivor, babbling but disturbingly convincing in his story of a Company ship, off course, acting illegally, and responsible for the accident, Bird and Ben were already in over their heads:- Review(s): "Another tense, convincing C J Cherryh novel of innocence and skullduggery on the far frontiers of space. Gritty adventure, strong characterisation, and Machiavellian dealing aplenty. It's vintage Cherryh" - Locus / "Taut, gripping, realistic. Agreeably complex" - Kirkus Reviews / "One of the finest writers SF has to offer" - SF Chronicle:- (original cost £4.99). Seller Inventory # 11.001.00863
