Book stored in temperature-controlled environment - no smelly damp stains or the smell of a previous smoker. This book is science fiction at its best. Here the author presents a political science fiction story, which is more fascinated by problem-solving than by political systems. It won top awards.

An exciting science fiction novel that has brought the author international recognition. A beautiful book in full leather and gilt designs and lettering. In gift-giving condition.
