About This Item
New York:: Greenwillow Books,, 1984.. Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in a very near fine dust jacket. A lovely copy, with just a hint of spine slant. . First US printing. Before Rowling and the Harry Potter books, Jones was the premier writer of children's fantasy in the UK with complex stories, often mixing humor in with the darkness. 'Archer's Goon' is not only one of her hardest-to-find titles in collectable condition, it is also, according to Clute and Nicholl's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, her 'best sf novel, a splendidly convoluted mystery involving time paradoxes, alternate worlds, paranoia, writer's block and a cheerful thug.' Nominated for the best fantasy award, it was also serialized by the BBC in 1992.
