About this Item

Signed in gold ink on the cover by the artist Barclay Shaw. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, age-toning. Appears Unread, No spine crease. "Men Like Rats" depicts a world dominated by colossal warehouses (Lows) and automated drop ships (Highs) that incessantly shuttle cargo back and forth. A massive alien race has taken over Earth, repurposing it as a giant storage facility. Humans, reduced to living on the margins, scavenge the warehouses and ships like pests. In this narrative, the aliens remain unseen, influencing events from behind the scenes. Barclay Shaw is an American professional artist best known for his fantasy and science fiction artwork. Since 1978, Shaw has painted more than 500 book and magazine covers. He has been nominated five times for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist and has earned a top ten ranking six times in the annual Locus Award for Best Artist. His oeuvre is distinguished for its eclectic style, surrealistic overtones and crystalline rendering.
