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).

İ 1981: A stand-alone novel by Bob Shaw. 1st printing of 1982 hardback edition. UK SFBC #1192 (New Series - Vol 3 Issue 4). Tanning to text block:- Synopsis: In 'The Ceres Solution' Bob Shaw has tackled the most complex and far-reaching theme of his literary career. It is the story of the collision between two vastly different civilisations: one on Earth in the early 21st Century - teeming, frantic, rushing towards self-inflicted nuclear doom; the other on the distant world of Mollan, whose inhabitants have achieved great longevity and fantastic powers which include the ability to transport themselves instantly from star to star. The Mollanians pursue a strict policy of isolationism to preserve their cool, introspective society, but the two cultures are destined to have a profound effect on each other - Shaw unfolds a tale which spans millennia of Earth's history and the reaches of interstellar space, but - consistent with his concern for people - he chooses to do so from the intensely personal viewpoints of protagonists who have their full quota of human strengths and weaknesses. There is Denny Hargate, acid-tongued and embittered, confined to a wheelchair by a wasting illness, who has an indomitable courage which helps him to alter the course of history. And there is Gretana ty Iltha, working on Earth as a secret Mollanian observer, who dreams of returning to the delights of her world's high society, but who gets caught up in a train of events leading to the explosive climax of the novel:- (original cost unmarked).
