THE GAME-PLAYERS OF TITAN. New York: Ace Books, Inc., [1963]. Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Ace Books F251. The human remnants of the intersystem wars play a territory-oriented game designed to maximize births in an almost sterile population. The alien Vugs of Titan are horning in on the game and their radical faction wants to sterilize Earth entirely. "An odd, cranky, philosophical melodrama, full of good touches." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 151. Owner's name stamped on the bottom edge of the text block, just a hint of tanning to the inner surface of the cover, a bright, nearly fine copy. (#153144).
