First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh, with just a touch of rubbing to the spine tips and extremities. The contents, with a little spotting to the top edge of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout, and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly creased dustwrapper that is without fading, loss, or tears. Not price-clipped (£3.95 net to the lower front flap).
The sequel to the author's debut novel 'Mirror Image' (1972), set in the same world as 'Syzygy' (1973). A science fiction adventure story with strong ecological themes, the book features the 'amorphs' depicted in its predecessor, a species of alien capable of mimicking humans so perfectly that they believe they are human themselves. Winner of the 1977 British Science Fiction Association Award for 'Best Novel'.
