About This Item
London, UK: Dennis Dobson, 1967. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First UK Edition, First Printing. This is a true first edition, first printing (first impression) with no reprint statement to the copyright page to indicate a true first print in a fine price clipped second state jacket with very slight wear to the top of the jacket. There is some very light spotting to the text block otherwise as new. A very sharp copy of a book which is normally found in poor condition. Winner of the 1965 Hugo award for best novel..
Synopsis
The Wanderer inspires feelings of pure terror in the hearts of the five billion human being inhabiting planet earth. The presence of the alien planet causes increasingly severe tragedies and chaos. However, one man stands apart from the mass of frightened humanity. For him, the legendary Wanderer is a mere tale of bizarre alien domination and human submission. His conception of the Wanderer bleeds into unrequited love for the mysterious 'she' who owns him. Join sci-fi master Fritz Leiber, winner of both the Hugo and Nebula awards, as he concocts a powerful allegorical novel that pierces to the heart of the human condition.
