Please see any and all photos connected with this listing. The dustjacket is a bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Clean. No store stamps. --- --- (The first book in the Twin Planets series) --- There's a prize of $50,000 for the first team to fly across the bottom of the world. It's the mid-1920s - but it's a very different world. For one thing, the Kaiser started the War in 1912, and it only lasted a year (there was no Russian Revolution). For another, the world is doughnut-shaped - and no one actually knows what lies through the hole in the middle. Superstitious souls believe the bottom of the world is the location of Hades. The Germans are sending up the Red Baron, his brother Lothar and the Princess Irina Lvova of Russia. In the US, The Spirit of San Diego is being prepared for flight - by Howard Hughes, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. Little do they know what awaits them on the other side of the most bizarre alternate Earth ever imagined. . .

New York: Timescape Books, 1984. Bright, clean, square, tight, unmarked copy. Sharp corners. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped (15.95). From the Dust Jacket: "Circumpolar! is a whopping tale of a round-the-world aerial race that weds the sepia flicker of an old-time newsreel to the cliffhanging burlesque of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Romping through an alternate history, it's a flight to high adventure replete with dashing heroes, dastardly villains, magic, monstrosities, and feats of derring-do." Among the characters in this freewheeling Air Race around the world are many early aviation pioneers including the Red Baron, Charles Lindberg, Amelia Earhart, and Howard Hughes. Rowena's striking Dust Jacket painting features The Spirit of St. Louis along with Lindberg, Earhart, and Hughes in their aviation helmets and goggles. Anatomy of Wonder 4-304. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/VG DJ (bit of edgewear). Illus. by Rowena Morrill (jacket art). 8vo. 320pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
