About this Item

A beautiful black leatherbound first edition from the Easton Press. Binding remains tight, text appears clean throughout apart from Mike Resnick's signature and the notation noting its number; full leather over moire endpapers, all edges gilt with a ribbon bound in. Four raised bands on the spine, with gilt detailing and titles on spine. 'On the planet Henry II, orbiting the twin suns of Plantagenet and Tudor, at the very edge of the great black hole at the center of the Milky Way, there is a tavern called The Outpost. Through the doors of The Outpost have come the greatest heroes, villains, and adventurers of the galaxy - to drink, to brag, and to swap tales. The Outpost is neutral territory where fighting is forbidden and blood enemies can have a drink together and tell stories of battles past. After all bounty hunters, con men, itinerant preachers, thieves, and assassins have more in common with each other than they do with the rest of the mundane galaxy. But their pleasant life of recalling murder and mayhem is interrupted by an alien invasion, and to save their way of life these rugged individualists must try to work together for a change.' 383 pages. 5.75 x 8.75 inches.
