About this Item

First edition/printing trade paperback original (TPBO). Fine condition. Inscribed by Greenland! Uncommon. ".Take Back Plenty (1990), a devotedly exuberant Space Opera, the first of the Tabitha Jute/Plenty sequence. it won the Arthur C Clarke Award and the BSFA Award. The story involves much tried-and-true material ? from the Mars where the tale begins to the tough female space-tramp who runs her own ship and is in all sorts of trouble, and on to the Aliens who dominate human space ? and indeed there are moments when Greenland seems all too knowing. But the neatly calipered parodies are accomplished with love, lacking any trace of the disdain that had tended to disfigure some UK space opera in previous years; the high jinks are genuinely earned; and increases in scale ? until the galaxy itself is within the grasp of vision, and we realize that the hiveship Plenty is in fact a neatly compact World Ship ? are accomplished deftly."
