The Man in the Maze

The Man in the Maze by Robert Silverberg. Avon Books, New York (Equinox Books), 1969 — Third Printing (Avon #V2262) Book Condition: Very Good. Mass market paperback; 192 pages; cover art by Ron Walotsky. Covers with light edge wear and light surface rubbing to rear cover only; front cover bright and attractive. Spine uncreased — a genuine strength for a 56-year-old mass market paperback. Red-tinted text block edge present — a distinctive feature of this printing, noted for collectors. Pages clean and unmarked with light uniform age-toning. No ownership markings, stamps, price stickers, or remainder marks. Third printing, 1969. A solid and notably well-preserved copy Edition / Printing Notes First printing featured cover art by Don Punchatz; the third printing features cover art by Ron Walotsky. Red-tinted text block edge — a distinguishing feature of this printing, not present on all Avon printings of the title. Robert Silverberg is widely regarded as one of science fiction's modern masters; praised by Neil Gaiman as a writer with "one foot in the New Wave camp, still mindful of its roots" and by the Chicago Sun-Times as having "shaped the whole direction of the field." At the dawn of man's galactic journeys, Richard Muller was Earth's first ambassador to Beta Hydra IV — but something about his brain emanations so repulsed the Hydrans that they altered his mind to radiate an aura that would soothe them, and make him anathema to human beings. Embittered, he fled to a distant planet to live out his days in utter isolation in an abandoned city of terrifying labyrinths. Then Earth launched an expedition to penetrate his maze-like citadel and convince him to undertake a vital mission — for precisely that thing which made him an outcast now made him a savior. Praised as "an unpretentious but inescapably readable tour de force — fantastic, yet basically simple right to the satisfying ending" — The Man in the Maze is a taut, psychologically rich novel from Silverberg's most celebrated creative period, and a landmark of late 1960s literary science fiction. A clean third printing in well above average condition, with uncreased spine and red-tinted text block edge.
