Synopsis
FIRST BRITISH PAPERBACK edition of this 1953 book. Edgar Pangborn's first science fiction novel, "West of the Sun" tells of a spaceship which crash-lands on the planet the crew names Lucifer — Son of the Morning. Full of hope and excitement, the six explorers encounter an alien world full of bat-winged monsters, painted witches, and armies of pygmy cannibals. But for each threat, objects of great beauty await them, blue fireflies, red-green forest, vast mountains, and deep seas. With ever-dwindling supplies, and a war in the making, these adventurers embark on one of the most fascinating journeys of survival in science fiction... somewhere West of the Sun.

SOFTCOVER. Condition: 1976. A very good copy. The world we know is gone, destroyed in a fiery cataclysm. The survivors built a new world ruled by religion, oppression, and fear. In this pre-industrial society, sickness, ignorance, and death are the norm. A bond-slave, Davy dreams of sailing to the edge of the known world. He runs away at age 14, and what he discovers is similar to what most young men find in any age. As he searches for answers to his moral questions, he becomes an educated, thoughtful man, a dangerous heretic, and finally, a rebel. Seller Inventory # 26028258
