paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Bob Layzell (illustrator).…

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Fair: Heavier signs of wear. 1977 Edition. © 1974: 1st in the 'Soul Of The Robot' series of books. 1st printing of 1977 edition (Orbit logo on cover & sign, though no mention on copyright page):- Synopsis: "We are your parents," the wife said in a hesitant, hopeful voice. "We made you. You are our son." Jasperodus, the hulking, bronze-black all-purpose robot they had created, laughed harshly and moved across the room to the door. Opening it, he walked out of their lives. Thus, within seconds of his creation, Jasperodus sets out to explore the world. There is much to explore in the bizarre future he inhabits, and his adventures lead him to become warrior, tyrant, renegade and statesman as he plots to overthrow King Zhorm, attempts to re-create the Old Empire and seizes the leadership of a robot revolution. But Jasperodus has more private battles to fight, more secret quests to pursue. No amount of power, glory, wealth and - yes, even women, can bring him the satisfaction of being a person. Robots have no soul, everyone knows that, but Jasperodus cannot accept it: either he is human at heart or there is a disastrous fault in his programming:- (original cost £0.70).

Présentation en quatrième de couverture : -- Le Grand Moratoire avait été appliqué au XXXIIIe siècle pour permettre à la Terre de se purifier et de renaître. Toute activité suspendue, des milliards d'êtres humains en hibernation dans les cavernes artificielles et, à la surface, le minuscule Peuple de la Présence, sous le contrôle des Ecumeurs du silence. En l'an 525 du Moratoire, Juo Jombro, ancien officier des Ecumeurs, et Ushaïa, ancienne maîtresse du village d'Acharac, fuient sur une Terre infestée par les féroces chiens géants et les Nomades sanguinaires. Grâce au Programme supérieur qui augmente prodigieusement son rythme physiologique et sa puissance mentale, Juo se croit invulnérable. Il n'a pas envie de se battre. Il veut seulement vivre en paix sur les vertes collines de la Terre. Puisque les Maîtres ne reviendront sans doute jamais. Mais son destin l'attend au Sanctuaire deTérive d'Allac. --.
