1st ed/1st printing, SIGNED by the author on the title page. This book is square, solid, and unread; the boards are solid and unblemished, and the dust jacket is sharp and in a protective Brodart cover. Light evidence of handling to the sides of the pages. No price clippings, no remainder marks. When you receive this book youll tuck it into the zip pocket of your speedsuit, flip your glimmer shades to high-res, and hop into your id-shifter, all systems set to quantum-overdrive, headed for the far reaches of the solar system with your inner frequency set to - you guessed it The Dark Side of the Moon.' NOTE: From the estate of SoCal SF collector Bill Wilson. ALSO: A small price sticker on the inside of the front cover.

- Book 2 of 4: Time's Tapestry
A prophecy found in the shadow of Hadrian's crumbling wall, a prophecy preserved by the monks at Lindisfarne. A prophecy remembered, a prophecy handed down. A prophecy that speaks of the cross, of dragons from the north. Of a new world and of a new empire. A prophecy fulfilled in one remarkable year: 1066.
Conqueror is a historical thriller that casts a bright light onto a shadowy period of British history. Steeped in blood and violence this was also a time of artistic endeavour, a time of nation building and law-giving. And it is a time of chance, where history can be shaped by the Weaver.
