Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Proof Copy. THE MAN FROM P.I.G. and R.O.B.O.T. Harry Harrison. Faber & Faber Ltd., London 1974 Proof Copy ISBN 0571103995 142pp Paperback. This copy has some mild age toning to the page edges, due to the standard of paper used to produce proof copies. Laid in is a compliment slip from the Sales Director of Faber & Faber. The book appears to be unread. The Man from P.I.G. (1968) is a strange little science fiction spoof. Harrison is always an entertaining author - especially on his home turf of the space opera. The Man from P.I.G. is no exception - a science-fiction adventure of the most bizarre kind. A remote planet has problems with 'ghosts' - lethal ones. Expecting the space marines, the residents are disappointed when a bucolic hillbilly pig farmer arrives. However, as Harrison explains at well-relished length, the pigs are more than up for the task. The book - a slightly extended version of a novella - is quick and slightly dirty. It follows a simple problem/solution format, with every problem solved by the judicious application of pig. Harrison is clever enough - and funny enough - to keep this going. Ref Y3. Seller Inventory # 007934
