© 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).

Terms of sale
All books offered for sale are complete and sound (any missing / loose pages or cracked / broken spines will be mentioned in the book description). Our book-seller images are of, not just the listed edition / print, but also of the actual book you will be buying (the cover collages are made from 3 individual scans of each book that are then displayed as a wrap-around image - the books themselves are NOT damaged in any way by this process). Book sizes, where given, are to the nearest ¼". Each book has then been graded according to its condition, taking into account the degree of creasing to the covers and/or spine, presence of scuff marks or tears, any pen marks or inscriptions & any page tanning. We try to be as fair & accurate as possible with the grading of our books, but if you are unhappy with any classification of condition please let us know as soon as possible. If, for any reason at all, you are unhappy with your purchase, we offer a no quibble, money back guarantee within 30 days of purchase. We also welcome any feedback or comments that you may have as we are always trying to maintain our high levels of customer service.
