About This Item

New York: Berkley, 1976. 215 pp, 8 5/8" H. Original price intact on dust jacket. 2 b&w maps. "Far across the galaxy, on the planet of Maske, young Jubal Droad leaves home to make his fortune. He attaches himself to the powerful court of Nai the Hever and is made an interplanetary economic spy. Jubal also courts Mieltrude, the cold-blooded, beautiful daughter of the house and becomes the rival and enemy of the brutal Ramus Ymph. In disguise, Jubal leaves the planet and proves Ramus's connection to a sinister interplanetary cartel that covets a foothold on Maske. He pursues Ramus and finds him among the Waels, a strange people who worship intelligent trees. It is the trees who detemine the outcome of their confrontation. The adventures and wit that fill the novel, and the touch of horrible irony at the end, make 'Maske: Thaery' exciting and sophisticated science fiction." Very minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has very light rubbing, tiny closed puncture on front hinge - archivally taped, light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds.minor browning at top of flaps.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good. Illus. by Richard M. Powers, dust jacket art..
