(#91383) THE QUIET POOLS. Michael P. Kube-McDowell.

THE QUIET POOLS. New York: Ace Books, [1990]. Octavo, boards. First edition. "Kube-McDowell's best novel to date, successfully coordinates action and thought in a story about the ambiguous nature of humanity's drive outwards to the stars, carried through the troubled consciousness of a man who is genetically incapable -- just as most of humanity has always been -- of denying the planet, of leaping into space. The book's genetic determinism, which is much too explicit to have been inadvertent, is both bleak and bracing." - John Clute, SFE (online). 1990 Hugo nominee. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-616. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#91383).

Price: $25.00
