DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART.

Shiner, Lewis.

New York, London, Toronto, Sydney: Doubleday, [1988]. Octavo, cloth backed boards. First edition. More of a contemporary thriller with an sf element set in Mexico. Centered around several protagonists who converge on an ancient Mayan city which comes under siege by mercenaries. "A thoughtful, convincing drama that maintains a fine balance between happen-stance and fate, past and present, with flashes of real insight--there's nothing here that couldn't be happening right now. Engrossing, promising work from a major new talent." - Kirkus review, 15 July, 1988. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (26447). Item #26447
