THE TWO-SPACE WAR. [Riverdale, New York]: Baen, [2004]. Octavo, boards. First edition. A high-spirited interplanetary adventure mixing realism and riotous imagination. Six hundred years from now people explore the galaxy in a medium called Two-Space by means of sentient wooden sailing ships. High-gravity worlds are populated by dwarfish miners; low-gravity worlds by elvish peoples who take Tolkien's works as history rather than literature. In this story the hero must capture a feral ship and mold his crew into a proper fighting unit to fight off galactic invaders. The two authors have worked together before, blending the military experience of Grossman (author of the classic study, ON KILLING) and the technological and literary experience of Frankowski. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#145947).
