Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Des Jordan (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear and short closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, spine and strip to either side of largely deep yellow jacket badly faded, corners slightly rubbed, slight lean. Not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 183pp. The author's debut novel that introduced the award winning 'LaNague Federation' series. Winner of the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, thoughtful, idea centred science fiction from American sci fi author F. Paul Wilson. Steven Dalt should have died in that cave on the planet Kwashi. After all, as the natives say, of a thousand people attacked by the cave dwelling alaret, one will not die. But Dalt is that one. He survives, but not without personal cost. He has picked up a passenger, an alien intelligence transferred itself from the alaret to take up residence in his brain. Steven Dalt will never be alone again. But Pard as Dalt names the alien who shares his life, doesn't believe in freeloading. He pays his rent by using cellular level consciousness to maintain Dalt's body in perfect health, no disease, no aging. And now Dalt appreciates the full meaning of the Kwashi natives' saying 'Of a thousand struck down by an alaret, one will not die - ever'. Spanning twelve hundred years HEALER follows Dalt and Pard through the centuries as they become known as The Healer, an enigmatic figure with the power to cure diseases of the mind. And when a wave of interstellar slaughter threatens the civilizations of the LaNague Federation, only The Healer has the resources to face the onrushing doom. A scarce book. Seller Inventory # 008386
