About This Item
Boston: Gregg Press, 1980. First hardcover edition. A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (29270). Octavo, cloth. Text offset from that of the 1975 Pyramid edition. New introductions by Malzberg and Marta Randall. "Mock hard sf tale in which the heroine flies her spacecraft into a "black galaxy." The author interweaves many sour comments on the nature of sf as a genre. Witty, self-reflective, occasionaly irritating." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction (Second edition), p. 151. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-275. Pringle, Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels 77.
