vg++ 1st Coronet 1982 edition paperback, In stock shipped from our UK warehouse

1st printing. Vance is one of my favorite authors. This slight novel about and Earthman trapped on a planet of slaves is an excellent example of his craftsmanship.

Slaves of the Klau (Coronet Books) by Jack Vance is a brisk, imaginative planetary-adventure tale set in the wider Planet of Adventure universe. When Earthman Joe Smith is captured by the alien Klau and transported across the galaxy, heâs thrust into a brutal slave system where survival depends on cunning, resilience, and unlikely alliances. Vance blends high-concept world-building with tight, pulpy momentum, delivering a classic escape-and-revenge narrative filled with exotic cultures, strange technologies, and his trademark dry wit.

Sl. creasing to covers; spine worn.

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!
