Tor: NY. 2002.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
SF novel. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''Al Morris is a private investigator. Actually, he's lots of private investigators. For he lives in a world in which every person, every day, can be in any number of places at the same time. It's the world of dittos. It is our world. Welcome to the future. In a business where information is the currency, Al's dittos are loaded. And with a number of cases on the go at once, it is crucial that Al keeps track of what's going on. What he doesn't know is that he is about to be drawn into a plot that could throw this delicately balanced world into chaos. It seems that the technology has been developed for dittos to replicate themselves. It seems that real people may no longer be necessary. And, suddenly, it seems that mankind's dream of immortality could turn into a nightmare''.

PRESENTATION COPY, WARMLY INSCRIBED AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE PUBLICATION/!To my pal Dave Tate, 30/3/89, from Dave Britton, Let him who has Something to say Come Forward and be Silent! Best xx'' Additionally inscribed and dated by Michael Butterworth (editor and contributor to the book)/''For Dave Tate, 25/3/89, With Bizarre Wishes, Michael Butterworth''. Note: although the copyright date shows 1990 on the copyright page, copies were actually released in the the summer of 1989 - even so, this copy would still have been inscribed a good three months before the eventual publication date. Dave Tate was the manager of Forbidden Planet in London for much of the 1980's and was instrumental in organising signings and promoting genre authors in an age before Facebook, Twitter and You Tube (and certainly in an age before Forbidden Planet turned itself into a glorified toyshop).

''shrewd, devious, cunning and a born liar - but as a Court Jester, Jad's a disaster. So when he's sent off with the warlord's son, Prince Kender, on a spying mission, he's hoping that his less desirable traits will actually save his life. Since the Day of Wonder, when all the electric lights stopped working, there have been rumours of unrest in the neighbouring domains . . . and no one has seen hide nor hair of any of the Elite, the ruthless technocrat class that have ruled Urba for centuries. What most of the inhabitants don't realise is that their world of Urba is actually a giant spacecraft, an ark built more than a thousand years ago to save as much of the Earth's population as possible before the sun went nova. The Elite were originally the ship's crew, and as a social experiment, the ship's population were forced to live a pseudo-mediaeval life . . . and as the centuries passed, the Elite became decadent, corrupt and cruel and the truth about Urba became hidden. And now Jad and his courageous - if thick - Prince are about to find out what happened''.

''LOW FANTASY: the introduction to The Fantastic Imagination (anth 1977) ed. Robert H. Boyer and Kenneth J. Zahorski defines High Fantasy and implies Low Fantasy as an antonymic description of fantasies not set in Secondary Worlds, nor elevated in their literary style. For example: the Samella sequence by John Brosnan contains determinedly low comedy about sex, flatulence and lavatories throughout, but its first book, Damned and Fancy (1995), is not Low Fantasy since the action occurs in a Fantasyland, while the sequel, HAVE DEMON, WILL TRAVEL (1996), is Low Fantasy set in London (David Langford/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).

Brotherton, Mike: Star Dragon. 14724
Tor: NY. 2003.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Sf novel: the author's first book.
''the SS Cygni probe sent back hours of video, captured by the Biolathe AI, but only a few minutes mattered - the four minutes that showed a creature made of fire, living , moving, dancing in the plasma fire of the double star's accretion disc. A dragon made of star stuff, so alien that only a human expedition to observe and perhaps capture it, could truly understand them.It's a perilous journey into the future, however, for SS Cygni is 245 light-years from Earth, and even though only two years' subjective time will pass on board the Karamojo, the crew will return to an Earth where five hundred years have passed. Captain Lena Fang doesn't care - she has made her life on her ship, where her best friend is the ship's AI. Samuel Fisher, the contract exobiologist,doesn't care, either. He is making the voyage of a lifetime and in the small world of the Karamojo he will have to live with the consequences of his obsessive quest for knowledge. The rest of the small crew - Axel Henderson, the biosystems engineer; Sylvia Devereaux, the beautiful physical sciences expert; and Phil Stearn, the ship's jack-of-all-trades - have their own reasons for saying good-bye to everyone they have ever known. As the Biolathe AI said, uncertain five hundred-year round trips don't attract the most stable personalities, but somehow they'll have to learn to get along with each other, if they're to catch their dragon and come home again.For at the end of the journey is the star dragon - a creature of fire with a nuclear furnace for heart. The crew of the Karamojo - human and AI alike - will risk everything to capture it, and it will take all their technology, all their skill, and more courage than they knew they had, to come home alive''.

''more ambitiously attempts to universalize the conflict between Protestant and Catholic in Ireland in a tale whose 6th-century protagonists have been transformed into ''sleepers under the hill'', and who awaken in Ireland in the current time of Troubles. They have talents, and are avatars of figures from Celtic mythology, the woman ''representing'' the goddess of summer and the man Herne The Hunter. The present age is shown in terms of thinning; and the female protagonist becomes an agent of the healing necessary for the world to survive'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).

MacMillan: NY. 1976.

''the setting for many of the stories in Among The Dead(1973) is a California transmuted by sf devices and milieux into an image, sometimes scarifying, sometimes joyful, of the culmination of the American Dream, an image further developed and intensified in CINNABAR (coll of linked stories 1976), whose eponymous city of the far future is a dreamlike re-enactment of an essentialized Dying-Earth California. The earlier stories of the sequence intricately develop a strangely moving vision of the rococo, many-shaped life by which mankind is ultimately destined to explicate itself, though the end of the book presents stories with a somewhat reductive plottiness'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Bryant, Edward (& Harlan Ellison): Phoenix Without Ashes. 29787
Savoy: Manchester. 1978.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
Trade paperback original.
Novelisation by Ed Bryant of Harlan Ellison's original teleplay script for the pilot episode of ''The Starlost''. With afterword ''Somehow, I Don't Think We're In Kansas, Toto'' by Harlan Ellison.
''a later foray into tv - his attempt to create a series based on the concept of a Generation Starship - was something of a fiasco. The series, The Starlost, was Canadian-made and lasted only one season, 1973; and so many changes were made to Ellison's original concept that he disowned the programme, signing the pilot episode Cordwainer Bird. The original script (not the one filmed) received a Writers' Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Episode Script (Ellison is the only scenarist to have won the award three times), and was later novelized as PHOENIX WITHOUT ASHES (1975) with Edward Bryant. A thinly disguised account of the whole affair formed the plot of a roman a clef by Ben Bova, The Starcrossed (1975)'' (John Clute/Encycopedia of SF).

Victor Gollancz: London. 1977.
First British edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
''after some years away from fiction, he returned in the late 1970s with his most humanly complex and fully realized novel to date. which describes in considerable detail a near-future world whose information media have become even more sophisticated and creative of news than at present -- as depicted in Sidney Lumet's film Network (1976) and as represented by such figures as CBS broadcaster Walter Cronkite. Like Cronkite, though to a much greater extent, the Michaelmas of the title is a moulder of news. Unusually, however, the book does not attack this condition. Michaelmas is a highly adult, responsible, complex individual, who with some cause feels himself to be the world's Chief Executive; beyond his own talents, he is aided in this task by an immensely sophisticated computer program named Domino, with which he is in constant contact, and which itself (as in books like Alfred Bester's 'The Computer Connection' [1975 USA; title change 'Extro' UK]) accesses all the computers in the world-net. Although the plot -- Michaelmas must confront and defeat mysterious aliens who are manipulating mankind from behind the scenes -- is straight out of pulp-magazine fiction, Michaelmas is a sustained, involving and peculiarly realistic novel'' (John Clute/ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SF).
