About This Item
Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1966. First edition. A fine copy in just about fine dust jacket, touch of rubbing to spine ends and corners, touch of shelf wear to head of spine panel, some mild dust soiling to rear panel. (11094). Octavo, cloth. A novel of the future when Earth is under the domination of the Proxmen during an interstellar war that involves drugs and travel through time and alternate continuums. "Against a standard space war background, the author spins a daft and delightful yarn about hallucinogenic drugs, robotic quasi-life, psychological regression and political chicanery. Hastily written, but all the rich Dickian obsessions are in full flow." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 261.
