Traduzione di M. Riva.Milano, 2020; br., pp. 160. Da Jack Vance, per la prima volta in italiano, una storia paranoica e terrificante nello stile di "Ai confini della realtà" Sul pianeta Ixax la guerra si è appena conclusa, ed è stata un immane disastro. La superficie è ridotta a cumuli di rovine e quel poco che resta della popolazione vive in città sotterranee. Ma non è finita, ora resta la sfida più grande: affrontare i veri nemici, gli esseri sfuggenti e incomprensibili chiamati Nopal, attaccandoli sul loro stesso pianeta d'origine, Nopalgarth. Ma è una battaglia che gli abitanti di Ixax non possono combattere direttamente: qualcun altro dovrà farlo per loro, un alieno proveniente da quel pianeta che la sua specie chiama Terra.

Once this treasured tome from Tanjecterly has arrived at your stately manse of Trilda, youll retire to the parlor and a light repast of wine and cheese, melon and water fowl, before focusing your attention on its many and varied excellences, composed, as it is, of sandestin stuff hopefully Grofinet wont choose this moment for a spontaneous lecture on the Egyptian pyramids! NOTE: Light evidence of handling and age-toning, and some light rubbing to the white back cover. Also an old crease to the upper righthand corner of the front cover.
