Ex-library with usual markings, spine slanted, some edge wear, stain on lower edge of back board. Jacket is in protective wraps, glued to pastedowns, some soiling, minor edge wear. "A tale from the second star-faring age where Void Pilots are always female because the function is linked to the psychesomic function of platform orgasm and requires a voluntary addictive personality, non-orgasmic in normal sexual contact. In the normal course of things, the Void Captain and the Void Pilot never meet, but Genro meets his Void Pilot, and discovers the source of her strength and strange resolve: in the instants of the Jump she has caught a glimpse of a transcendental consciousness, and her ultimate desire is to achieve it as a permanent state-which she can accomplish only with Genro's cooperation in a Blind Jump-from which they may never return!"; Ex-Library; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
