First edition, first printing. Original burgundy paper-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, in the Peter Curl illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm, the spine slightly rolled, the cloth is bright and fresh. The contents, with some faint spotting to the endpapers and a small numerical inscription and a letter 'N' in pen on the front free endpaper, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the very lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is a touch faded to the spine and otherwise bright and without loss or tears. Not price-clipped (15s on the front flap).
Brian Aldiss' first science fiction novel, a story about the inhabitants of a generation starship facing the aftermath of a pandemic caused by an alien amino acid.
