COSMIC ENCOUNTER.

Van Vogt, A[lfred] E[lton].

Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1980. Octavo, boards. First edition. "An astonishing farrago which involves "time-collapse," an 18th-century setting complete with pirates, and a futuristic battle-cruiser ejected from its own era. It makes no sense, but it's possibly the best late novel by this energetic spinner of pulp fantasies. "Sheer panache" - Brian Stableford." - Pederson (ed.), St. James Guide to Science Fiction Writers (4th ed.), p. 78. Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 4-567. A fine copy in a just about fine dust jacket. (25930). Item #25930
