PICNIC ON PARADISE.
[London]: Macdonald Science Fiction, [1969]. Octavo, boards. First British and first hardcover edition. The author's first book. 1968 Nebula nominee. Time traveling temporal agent Alyx "... is tough, centred, autonomous and female. Much of the initial impact of the sequence lies in its use of Alyx in situations where she acts as a fully responsible agent, vigorously engaged in the circumstances surrounding her, but without any finger-pointing on the author's part to the effect that one should only pretend not to notice that she is not a man. The liberating effect of the Alyx/Trans Temp tales has been pervasive, and the ease with which later writers now use active female protagonists in adventure roles, without having to argue the case, owes much to this example" - SFE online. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-936. Survey of Science Fiction Literature IV, pp. 1678-81.
