A smart first UK edition of this science fiction novel exploring the lives of bored men in a world run by women, written by James Blish. First UK edition. There are too many men in a world governed by women. So bored and disillusioned they often resort for "suicide mission" jobs in experimental space research. Jorn has applied for such a job, and is being trained as a navigator to implement the faster-than-light Ervak Effect in the giant ship the Javelin. Written by James Blish, an American science fiction and fantasy writer. Dust wrapper designed by his wife Judith Ann Lawrence, an American sketch artist and short fiction writer. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor bumping to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd spot to the endpapers. Near Fine
