VECTOR FOR SEVEN. Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1970. Octavo, cloth. First edition. "Saxton's first three novels -- THE HIEROS GAMOS OF SAM AND AN SMITH. (1969), VECTOR FOR SEVEN ... (1970) and GROUP FEAST (1971) -- established her very rapidly as an inventive creator of SF fabulations. Each of these books presents narratives whose outcomes are more readable as allegories of their protagonists' moral fates than of any physical journey, though the image of what might be called the bollixed quest is central to her work. These journeys are described -- often in some detail, as in VECTOR FOR SEVEN -- in a register of perilous ambivalence, half inner space, half mutable and frustrating external world." - SFE (online). Some darkening to endpapers along gutter margin, else a fine copy in fine dust jacket with small rub mark to front panel. (#106218).
