About this Item

A collection of five smart first edition paperback science fiction works. Five volumes. First edition. This set includes: Quatermass II, 1960. A play for television in six parts, the author's final original script for the BBC as a staff writer. Illustrated with eight plates. Collated complete. Written by Thomas Nigel Kneale, a Manx screenwriter, who won the Somerset Maugham Award, and was twice nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay. Macroscope, 1969. Near the end of the twentieth century, a scientific breakthrough discovered the macroscope. But, when men attempted to unlock its secrets, it destroyed the minds of the best of them. Written by Piers Anthony, an American author in the science fiction and fantasy genres. The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton, 1976. More than just an operative for ARM, Gil Hamilton was essential to the cause. His psychic powers were devastating and his courage would take him into the depths of inner and outer space where others feared to tread. Written by Laurence van Cott Niven, an American science fiction writer. Sojan, 1977. A collection of short stories featuring Sojan the Swordsman, written by the author at the age of seventeen.

Light sunning to the spine with minor chipping to the head and tail of the spine. A price sticker to the rear board of The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small handling mark. Light age toning to the extremities. An ink inscription to the front endpaper of The Long Arm of Gil Hamilton and the title page of Sojan. Very Good Indeed.
