Greenland, Colin: Daybreak On A Different Mountain: A Fantasy Novel. 28372
Unwin Hyman: London. 1984.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''he began to publish fiction of genre interest with ''Miss Otis Regrets'' for Fiction Magazine in 1982, and soon published his first three fantasy novels - Daybreak on a Different Mountain (1984), The Hour of the Thin Ox (1987) and Other Voices (1988) - which make up a very loose series, mainly through being set in the same austerely depicted Fantasyland. Because so much of his work borrows moods and idioms from earlier work, interrogating that earlier work in the process, almost all of his earlier fiction can be thought of as revisionist fantasy, even where models may be hard to pin down. Fittingly, the first volume of the loose sequence not only is in this sense a parody of fantasy but actually describes what might be called a parody of Quest - two aristocrats are sent to find the prophet of the god Gomath, both of them needing to deny that either is in fact that prophet, to no avail. One turns out to be the prophet, and the other, having developed Talents, the god'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of Fantasy).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new).

Greenland, Colin: Harm's Way. 05398
HarperCollins: London. 1993.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
''his most successful and exuberant single novel. As with so much sophisticated work of the 1990s, it is not easy to make useful generic distinctions: it could be treated as an sf exercise in alternate cosmology or as a fantasy excursion into an alternate world 19th-century England making use of Steampunk SF and Gaslight Romance conventions in the depiction of the consequences of living in a Universe filled with aether, so that sailing ships can travel from planet to planet. The style intermittently pastiches Charles Dickens; the plot takes the daughter of a murdered London whore on a hegira to confront (and eventually to kill) her father, the head of the guild of aether pilots. The whole enterprise of HARM'S WAY is irradiated by nostalgia of a highly conscious sort. The author is a novelist whose touchstones - entropy and nostalgia - are belated. But he uses these touchstones, with increasing freshness, as a language'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Greenland, Colin: Other Voices. 02721
Unwin Hyman: London. 1988.
First edition (& 1st printing).
SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''his first novel, Daybreak on a Different Mountain (1984), a fantasy, wrestles mildly with an entropy-laden plot and venue, and with a range of New Wave influences forgivable in a book coming from a scholar's loaded mind. Two further fantasies set in different parts of the same world, The Hour of the Thin Ox (1987) and Other Voices (1988), gradually demonstrated a sharpening, meticulously intelligent, cold, quiet narrative voice, and plots which carefully picked at some of the unthinking assumptions, general to fantasy, about war and peace, prejudice and love'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
