About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz, [2000]. First edition. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#169081) (29789). Octavo, boards. The author's first novel, in which "two groups of human migrants settle on the eponymous planet, whose radical and demanding simplicity -- it is salt-covered -- make it into a sounding board against which the dire incompatibilities of the two societies become drastically clear: one of them being a patriarchic hierarchy and the other anarchical." - The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (online). Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #65.
