THE WEIGHT

First UK edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original black paper-covered boards with red titles to the spine, in the Chris Moore illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the closed text-block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£12.99 on the front flap).

Signed by Allen Steele in black ink on the title page. A science fiction novel about the crew of a deep-space ship on route to Jupiter's moons, set in the same universe as Steele's 'Near Space' novels, including 'Labyrinth of Night' and 'Orbital Decay'.
