(#168843) SOLDIERS OF PARADISE. Paul Park.

SOLDIERS OF PARADISE. New York: Arbor House, [1987]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Signed on the title page by Park. The author's first book. "A richly detailed account of life in the complex society of an alien planet. It's somewhat reminiscent of Brian Aldiss's 'Helliconia' books, and also shows the influence of Gene Wolfe's THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN. In other words, this is no ordinary tale of planetary adventure. A highly praised first novel." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 334. Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist, 1990. First book of "The Starbridge Chronicles." Sequels are SUGAR RAIN (1989) and THE CULT OF LOVING KINDNESS (1991). "The most wonderfully strange SF trilogy of the late 1980s." - Paul McAuley. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-846. Broderick and Di Filippo, Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985-2010 #10. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#168843).

Price: $100.00
