Paperback. Stranded on the distant planet Tschai, young Adam Reith is the sole survivor of a space mission who discovers the world is inhabited--not only by warring alien cultures, but human slaves as well, taken early in Earth's history. Reith must find a way off planet to warn the Earth of Tschai's deadly existence. Against a backdrop of baroque cities and haunted wastelands, sumptuous palaces and riotous inns, Reith will encounter deadly wastrels and murderous aliens, dastardly villains and conniving scoundrels. And always the random beauty in need of rescue. Together for the first time in one omnibus edition--City of the Chasch, Servants of the Wankh, The Dirdir, and The Pnume. Award-winning author Vance's exotic and complex world is filled with baroque landscapes, dastardly villains and warring aliens--all served up with grace and wonder. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
