Review
When it comes to pop culture, Alfred Bester (1913-1987) is something of an unsung hero. He wrote radio scripts, screenplays, and comic books (in which capacity he created the original Green Lantern Oath). But Bester is best known for his science-fiction novels, and The Stars My Destination may be his finest creation. First published in 1956 (as Tiger! Tiger!), the novel revolves around a hero named Gulliver Foyle, who teleports himself out of a tight spot and creates a great deal of consternation in the process. With its sly potshotting at corporate skullduggery, The Stars My Destination seems utterly contemporary, and has maintained its status as an underground classic for forty years. (Bester fans should also note that Vintage has reprinted The Demolished Man, which won the very first Hugo Award in 1953.)

Seller: Pulpfiction Books, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: As New. Howard Chaykin (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. As new trade paper original, clean and unmarked. Seemingly unread. As with all mid-90s Epic collections, this book has a very fragile glued binding and is priced up because this one's binding is immaculate, with no spine damage or loose pages. That said, even moderate reading pressure will pop the binding, so if you're planning to read this one, support with both hands & never open fully! Oversize book may require a variable shipping surcharge based on its final destination. Seller Inventory # 014978
