First edition. Before being published in a single novel in 1975, portions of Norstrilia were published as two short novels: "The Planet Buyer" and "The Underpeople." The only science fiction novel by Smith; but the center of a setting Smith developed in other short pieces. Any with an interest in Smith's unique world will want to see how it developed from these roots. A classic.

About the Author
Cordwainer Smith (1913 - 1966) Cordwainer Smith was the most famous pen name of US foreign policy adviser Paul Myron Anthony Linebarger. Born in Milwaukee in 1913, his godfather was the Chinese revolutionary and political leader, Sun Yat-sen - the result of his political activist father's close ties with leaders of the Chinese revolution. Smith held a PhD in Political Science from Johns Hopkins, served in the US military during the Second World War and acted as an adviser to President Kennedy. Although he only published one novel, Norstrilia, Smith is well regarded for his short fiction, the majority of which is set in his future history of the Instrumentality of Mankind.
