About This Item

USA: Berkley Medallion Book., 1977. Book. Illus. by Painted Front Cover. Fine. Soft cover. 6th Printing By Publisher.. 255 pages. "SYNOPSIS: WHAT IS THE SANTAROGA BARRIER? "The whole thing about Santaroga boils down to this--Why were we forced to close our branches there? Why won't even one Santarogan trade with an outsider? That's what we want to know. What's this Santaroga Barrier which keeps us from doing business there?" These are the questions that Gilbert Dasein sets out to answer. Once he is actually in the isolated community of Santaroga, Dasein senses a strange, mysterious quality that permeates the very essence of the town. The people have lost all personal identity; they have become masks for something that is the same in all of them. Soon Dasein realizes that the secret of Santaroga lies in the nature of a potent substance called "Jaspers"--and that he is trapped in Santaroga, unable to turn back." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall..
