Digest-size Magazine. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. Jerry Pournelle's novel A Spaceship for the King is his first work of long-form science fiction, the second piece he published under his own name, and the first work in his CoDominion series. It first appeared in print when it was serialized in the December 1971, January 1972, and February 1972 issues of Analog Science Fiction / Science Fact with a cover (Dec) and six interior illustrations by Kelly Freas. A decade later Pournelle expanded and republished it as King David's Spaceship. A Spaceship for the King takes place in the time of the Second Empire of Man, when a fanatical effort is being made to consolidate every inhabited planet into the Empire and prevent the disunity and carnage that destroyed the First Empire. Not all of the planets being forced into the Imperial fold are treated equally, however. On the planet known as Prince Samual's World, the government prepares a desperate plan to negotiate the best possible terms for joining the Empire. This plan involves sending Colonel Nathan MacKinnie on a "trade" mission to a less developed world, where there is reportedly a lost library of highly technical information that could determine the fate of his home planet. The novel is full of gripping portrayals of combat on both land and sea, political intrigue, and scientists working against impossible deadlines. The volumes also include the short stories "Ecology Now!" (Dec) and "A Matter of Sovereignty" (Jan), the first story in Pournelle's Laurie Jo Hansen series. Both were published under Pournelle's pseudonym Wade Curtis. Also includes "The Greatest Asset," a short story by Isaac Asimov.
