About this Item

© 1981: A stand-alone novel by Bob Shaw. 1st printing of 1983 paperback edition:- Synopsis: Embittered and cynical, Denny Hargate is doomed to spend his days in a wheelchair. But one day he sees a beautiful young woman make a strange and elaborate sign in the air - and vanish! He is a Terran. She is Gretana ty lltha, an observer from the distant world of Mollan. They were not supposed to meet. When they do, the resulting culture shock cuts both ways. With explosive results:- Review(s): "After Ballard himself, Bob Shaw is the nearest we've got to a home grown great" - The Observer / "SF whose glow not only illuminates the mind but warms the heart. Powerful, subtle. His best novel so far" - The Times / "Outstanding: Unusually well-written, well-paced, economically and stylishly constructed. Shaw creates a new viewpoint from which to reflect upon the human, or rather, more particularly, Terran condition" - Times Literary Supplement:- (original cost £1.50).
