AGAINST INFINITY.

Benford, Gregory.

New York: Timescape Books Distributed by Simon and Schuster, [1983]. Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. "On Ganymede a boy and his older companion hunt a mysterious alien entity. It's a conscious SF transcription of William Faulkner's non-SF novella,'The Bear,' and, as such, it's a bit labored in style. Nevertheless, it contains much good scientific detail and some striking touches of imagination." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 4. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-103. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#168717) (29532). Item #29532
