Synopsis
First edition hardcover in very good condition, with unclipped dust jacket in acceptable condition. Jacket front is cut from the centre of the lower edge, ending halfway, and cut section and edges are creased - this has been mended with invisible tape. The cut has also scored the front board superficially. Board corners and spine ends are slightly bumped, and page block is lightly blemised. Binding is sound and pages are clear. LW

Octavo, boards. First edition. The Kiteworld sequence depicts "a ruined earth Britain dominated by religious fanatics, and its Steampunk rendering of the life of the crews who man the Kiteships, which are the size of airships, to guard the frontiers against "demons" (as the ballistic or cruise missiles of a former technological era are now remembered) in a kind of parody of the Pax Aeronautica theme." - John Clute, SFE (online). "In this very unusual post-holocaust scenario men fly kites (huge Cody rigs) in order to protect their drab clergy-dominated world against 'demons.' The stories which comprise the novel are writeen with an intensity which is at times moving, but the depictions of tormented and brutal sexual relationships may provoke some readers' unease." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 202. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-907. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#160525). Seller Inventory # 160525
