THE SURVIVORS.

Godwin, Tom.

Hicksville, NY: Gnome Press, Inc., [1958]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Probable first binding of pale blue boards with spine panel lettered in dark blue. A space opera in which the "Rejects," colonists seemingly worthless as slaves, marooned on an unpleasant planet during the Gern-Human War, triumph against all odds and plan to lure the ruthless Gerns into a carefully laid trap. "An epic ordeal reminiscent of Clement's MISSION OF GRAVITY (1954) and White's THE WATCH BELOW (1966)." - Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 3-174. Sequel is THE SPACE BARBARIANS (1964). Age darkening to text block, a nearly fine copy in a fine dust jacket. (35816). Item #35816
