THE SKIES DISCROWNED. Toronto, New York, London: Laser Books, [1976]. Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Laser Books 28. The author's first book. A space opera in which the witness to a political assassination is enslaved and sent to uranium mines of the Orestes system. He eludes his captors and flees to Understreet, a vast subterranean city and haven for all wanted men, where he plots to restore the legitimate government to power. A fantasy-tinged adventure much influenced -- Powers stated in his introduction to the revised version -- by the work of Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950). A fine, unread copy. (#142799).
