About This Item

London England: Victor Gollacz. The author's previous books about the planet Majipoor - Lord Valentine's Castle and Majipoor Chronicles - have been among the most popular science fiction of recent years, and have established Majipoor as one of the great worlds of imagination. Now, in the final part of the trilogy, he has written a novel which surpasses its predecessors, bringing the story of Lord Valentine to a triumphant conclusion. Valentine is now established as the rightful and popular Cornoal of Majipoor, but sooner or later he must reluctantly succeed to the title of Pontifex and retire to the Labyrinth, leaving behind the colourful life of Castle Mount. The old Pontefex, Tyeveras, has held the title for generations, but is now almost wholly senile, kept alive only by immersion in a complex life-support chamber. Soon he must be allowed to die, but first there is a final challenge for Valentine to face, side-by-side with his chosen successor Hissune. A series of ecological blight begins to strike at Majipoor, threatening to turn a world of plenty into one plagued by starvation and despair. Once again the native Metamorphs are working to drive humans and other aliens from their world, and this time their challenge is even more formidable. Slight marks to edges of some pages. Slight wear to top and bottom edge of spine of cloth. Slight shelf wear to edges and corners of D/J. Price clipped.
