About This Item

New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston / The Viking Press, 1981-1987. First Editions. First Printings. Three octavo volumes (23.5cm); variously colored paper and cloth-covered boards, with titles stamped in gilt, copper, and black on spines; patterned endpapers; dustjackets; xviii,332; [xii],[2],3-306; [x],258pp. Volumes 1 and 2 are signed by Burroughs on the title pages; Volume three is signed on the half-title, dated 12/17/87. Sprinkle of foxing to lower edge of textblock on Vol.1, some dust-soil to upper edge of Vol.2, but overall, a uniformly Near Fine set in Near Fine, unclipped dustjackets. An attractive set of Burroughs's final trilogy of novels. "Several SF motifs are drawn together in this complex account of human corruption and corruptibility; alternate histories, nuclear holocaust, time travel, and so on, are employed as metaphors and surrealities. A phantasmagoria crowded with apocalyptic imagery" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder 4-99).
