DUST JACKET: Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age, Previous Dealer Sticker; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: The Naked Runner is not only the best novel that Francis Clifford has yet written, it puts him immediately into the front rank of contemporary novelists of suspense. The story is set mainly in Leipzig, where it starts in a comparatively unobtrusive way when Sam Laker agrees reluctantly to act as temporary unpaid agent for the West and ends a few days later in a blazing climax with a marksman's rifle and with Laker turned from a successful English businessman into a cold and paranoic killer. Caught in the clutches of an organisation of deadly efficiency and entire ruthlessness, Laker's appalling dilemma produces an astonishing sequence of events in East Germany and Copenhagen. Along with his own son Patrick, a wartime comrade… Read More

New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1940. BOOK: Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards. DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Moderately Chipped; Lightly Soiled; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SYNOPSIS: On this remarkable novel Henry Seidel Canby makes the following comment: "This powerful and sensational novel is very difficult to describe so as to convey its real purpose and its real strength. But it is important to describe it accurately, because it is certainly the finest novel as yet written by an American Negro - not that it was chosen by the Book-of-the-Month Club just because it was written by a Negro. It would have been chosen for its deep excitement and intense interest whether written by white, yellow, or black. Yet, nevertheless, this is a novel which only a Negro could have written; whose theme is the mind of the Negro we see every day; whose emotion is the emotion of that native born American under the stress of a social situation difficult in the extreme;… Read More

And on a future Earth where genetically bred linguists hold the key to the planet's economic survival because only they can serve as translators between human and alien traders, language has, indeed, become the way to power.
