(#157362) NONE BUT MAN. Gordon Dickson.

NONE BUT MAN. Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1969. Octavo, cloth. First edition. Signed on the front free endpaper by Dickson. "Very little of Dickson's later fiction, however hastily written some of it may seem, fails to pose questions and arguments about humankind's fundamental nature. From 1960 much of his work specifically reflected his preoccupation with the concept that humankind is inevitably driven to higher evolutionary states, a notion often expressed, however, in tales -- like NONE BUT MAN (1969) or HOUR OF THE HORDE (May 1969 Venture Science Fiction; 1970) – that contrast humankind's indomitable spirit with that of aliens whose lack of comparable élan makes them into straw horses for Homo sapiens to defeat." - SFE (online). A fine copy in very good dust jacket with a couple of nicks and scratches and some general dust soiling. (#157362).

Price: $45.00
