Temple, William F.: The Fleshpots of Sansato. 05769
Macdonald: London. 1968.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
'' his last two novels, however, are far more impressive. Shoot at the Moon (1966), parodying many of the more routine sf conventions concerning trips to the moon and the gallery of characters usually involved, is a ship-of-fools extravaganza of some hilarity. ''THE FLESHPOTS OF SANSATO'' (1968) is a remarkable space opera replete with interstellar agents, a corrupt city in the stars, and much symbolism (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket.

40.00 GBP
