Past Master (Ace H-54)
Seller: Barsoom Books, Torrance, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing. This book is square, solid, unread with a perfect spine. You'll be so thrilled when you receive this book you'll feel as though you've wandered over the hills and far away, beyond the fields we know. In protective archival bag! NOTE: The book is lightly age-toned and had a piece of tape around the top from back cover to front, about 1.5" long, that, looking at the cover, just managed to cover up the Ace issue designation and price. It appears to have been placed there to cover up an odd ink blot, but -- why? Perhaps only Lafferty could have explained this, truly odd.at any rate, with some difficulty I removed it, and in doing so, left a bit of a stained area over the price at upper lefthand corner of the cover, and at the top of the spine, where the ACE logo resides, the tape was, for whatever reason, most pernicious, and it took so micro-spots of the color off of the laminate. You can still tell it's the Ace logo, but it's a little damaged. Seller Inventory # 035855

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Wolf Hall meets The Man in the High Castle in this mind-bending science fiction classic, now presented in an authoritative new edition from Library of AmericaPlucked from time, Sir Thomas More arrives on the human colony of Astrobe in the year 2535 A.D., where there is trouble in utopia: can he and his motley followers save this golden world from the Programmed Persons, and the soulless perfection they have engineered The survival of faith itself is at stake in this thrilling, uncategorizable, wildly inventive first novel--but the adventure is more than one of ideas. As astonishingly as Philip K. Dick and other visionaries of the 1960s new wave, Lafferty turns the conventions of space-opera science fiction upside-down and inside-out. Here are fractured allegories, tales-within-tales, twinkle-in-the-eye surprises, fantastic byways, and alien subjectivities that take one's breath away. Neil Gaiman has described Lafferty 'a genius, an oddball, a madman'; Gene Wolfe calls him 'our most original writer.' Past Master, long-hailed by insiders and now presented in authoritative form, with an introduction by Andrew Ferguson and unpublished omitted passages included in the notes, deserves to perplex and delight a wider audience.
