The bulldog inexorability with which the author presents this scenario is darkly exhilarating, and seemed at the time a welcome prophylactic to the assumption embedded in most hard-sf novels that catastrophes, no matter how grave, will be sidestepped by the fit'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Coblentz, Stanton A.: After 12.000 Years. 19124
Fantasy Publishing Co. Inc.: Los Angeles. 1950.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Paperback.
Paperbound issue: released simultaneous with the hardcover.
''US novelist and polemically traditionalist poet (1896-1982) . He began his career in the early 1920s, after gaining an MA in English literature, with book reviews for New York papers and a volume of poems, The Thinker and Other Poems (coll 1923); he also wrote considerable nonfiction. He began publishing sf with The Sunken World (1928 AMZ Quarterly; 1948), a utopia set in a glass-domed AtlantisS, in which satirical points are made against both the egalitarian Atlanteans and the contemporary USA, though the obtuse narrator (of the sort found in most utopias) tends to blur some of these issues. Coblentz was never a smooth stylist, nor an imaginative plotter, as all his five novels for AMZ Quarterly tend to show, though at the same time he had a strong gift for the description of ingeniously conceived alien environments, so that he was often regarded as one of the writers best capable of conveying the sense of wonder so rightly valued by the readers of US pulpmagazine sf between the two world wars'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Paperback original.
The first book in the Grigori sf/fantasy trilogy. A very uncommon paperback edition (there is - as yet - no hardcover).
''the Grigori are an ancient race. Powerful people, possessing abilities and senses humans do not have. They live among us, their presence clear to those who have eyes to see. Owen and Lily Winter, twins, always knew they were different than the others who lived in the quiet hamlet of Little Moor. Their mother dead, never knowing who their father was, they lived alone in the large house. When Peverel Othman arived in Little Moor he was looking for something or someone, he really was not sure which. When he found the twins he knew his search was over. For Lily and Owen their lives would be forever changed. The quiet hamlet of Little Moor just became the new home of a Grigori''.

Cowper, Richard: A Dream Of Kinship. 00258
Victor Gollancz: London. 1981.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Second book of the White Bird of Kinship trilogy, preceded by The Road To Cowlay (1978), and followed by A Tapestry Of Time (1982).
''he remains best known for his Corlay trilogy - The Road To Corlay (1978), A DREAM OF KINSHIP (1981) and A Tapestry of Time (1982) - in which what might be called the pathos of expectancy typical of his best work is finally resolved, for the essential parts of the sequence take place in an England 1000 years after changing sea-levels have inundated much low-lying country, creating an archipelago-like venue which hearkens -- perhaps consciously -- back to Richard Jefferies' After London, or Wild England (1885), In this land, an oppressive theocracy is threatened by the solace offered through a young lad's redemptive visions of a new faith, whose emblem is the White Bird of Kinship. The sequence proceeds through the establishment of a new church, its stiffening into its own repressive rituals, and its rebirth. Throughout, a sweet serenity of image and storytelling instinct -- the author has always been a gripping teller of tales -- transfigure conventional plot-patterns into testament. The Corlay books so clearly sum up the author's imaginative sense of a redeemed England that it is perhaps unsurprising that he has written relatively little since'' (Peter Nicholls & John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Donaldson, Stephen R.: The Runes Of The Earth: The Last Chronicles Of Thomas The Covenant. 16246
Gollancz: London. 2004.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
First of four new volumes.
''in 1977, Stephen Donaldson changed the face of epic fantasy. With the publication of THE CHRONICLES OF THOMAS COVENANT THE UNBELIEVER, Donaldson took the world of fantasy publishing by storm, and created a true phenomenon: an epic fantasy instant bestseller that has gone on to sell millions. The 'hero', Thomas Covenant, is a leper, abandoned by his wife and young son in case he 'infects' them. Covenant's life has shrunk to encompass himself alone: his mantra is VSE: Visual Surveillance of Extremities. He's already lost two fingers to the disease. He is an angry, depressed and bitter man. When he is drawn into a mysterious new world, where gentle people work magic and the earth itself brings healing, he is welcomed as the reincarnation of a legendary saviour. But Covenant refuses to believe; he's convinced he's having delusions fuelled by the leprosy. He takes out his fury and pain by raping the girl who wanted only to help him. There are no concessions here: Covenant is as believable and unpleasant a character as you will find anywhere. Now comes the book every fantasy reader has been waiting for. Dr Linden Avery, the Chosen, Covenant's companion, is drawn back to the Land''.

Farley, Ralph Milne: The Hidden Universe. 24711
Fantasy Publishing Co. Inc.: Los Angeles. 1950.
First edition (variant, later binding).
Pictorial wrappers.
Later paperbound issue. Short novel, published together with ''We, The Mist''.
''Pseudonym of US writer and teacher Roger Sherman Hoar (1887-1963) for all his sf work except two 1938 stories published in AMZ as by Lt John Pease. He was educated at Harvard and had a remarkably varied career, which included teaching such subjects as mathematics and engineering, inventing a system of aiming large guns by the stars, and serving as a Massachusetts state senator. His early work in the pulp-sf field was written in obvious imitation of Edgar Rice Burroughs and was contributed to The Argosy -- notably his most famous series, the Radio Man series, featuring Miles Cabot, which began with The Radio Man (1924 Argosy; 1948; vt An Earthman on Venus 1950) and continued with The Radio Beasts (1925 Argosy; 1964), The Radio Planet (1926 Argosy; 1964), ''The Radio Man Returns'' (1939 AMZ) and ''The Radio Minds of Mars'' (1955 Spaceway, part 1 only; part 2 in Spaceway 1969). Other ''radio'' stories -- including novels which did not reach book form, such as ''The Radio Flyers'' (1929 Argosy) and ''The Radio Gun-Runners'' (1930 Argosy) -- are out of series. The tales, at first absurdly boosted by The Argosy as scientifically accurate, are devoted to the adventures of Cabot, mostly on Venus, the Radio Planet, and still have admirers. Along with another novel, THE HIDDEN UNIVERSE Universe (1939 AMZ; with ''We, the Mist'' as coll 1950), The Radio Man was later assembled as Strange Worlds (omni 1953). Farley was a rough-hewn, traditional sense-of-wonder writer, and as a consequence became relatively inactive with the greater sophistication of the genre after WWII'' (John Clute & Peter Nicholls/Encyclopedia of sF).
