GUNNER CADE.
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1952. Octavo, jacket illustration by Paul Bacon, boards. First edition. "Future society that has become stultified in a caste structure. Shows the difficulty of convincing people that their ideology does not reflect the true state of affairs." - Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 243. "The hero belongs to an almost monastic order of future warriors, whose members are thoroughly indoctrinated and sexually repressed. Naturally, he rebels -- which leads him on to picaresque and sometimes humorous adventures in the outside worlds. An enjoyable (though now rather dated) adventure story." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition, p. 164. Light foxing to page edges, tanning to edges of paste downs, a nearly fine copy in a very good dust jacket with mild wear to corner tips and spine ends, a small closed tear to lower left front spine edge, foxing to flap edges.
