''Ax Preston, former dictator, returns to England; he's agreed to take up the job of Green President. At close quarters he finds some outrageous details in the contract, so the Triumvirate decamps for Paris, to sit out the first hard winter after the A team destroyed crude oil in ostentatious poverty. He's quite certain he can negotiate a better deal. But while Ax and Sage and Fiorinda are embarassing the English government, over conditions in the new slavery labour camps, bad things are happening for the President of the USA. Fred Eiffrich's enemies in Washington are about to drop a bombshell, one that will shatter any hope of a return to former realities, former certainties. What happened at Lavoisier is not over. It's coming back, it's never going to end. Not while Fiorinda lives ... or her child''.

Jones, Gwyneth: Divine Endurance. 00754
Unwin Hyman: London. 1984.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
The author's first adult novel, following a number of children's fantasy books. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-218.
''her first novel for adults, it remains her most widely admired. It is set in a post-holocaust land governed by a matriarchy: no dates are given, but the author's enormously complex Southeast Asia venue has a dying-Earth/Far Future feel; and the matriarchical society she depicts is riven by profound ambivalences. The protagonist, a female android named Chosen Among the Beautiful, and the eponymous cat which accompanies her, dangerously agitate the scene by arriving in it, and a civil conflict begins to devastate the long polity of the land. The hard melancholy and sustained density of the book are unique in recent sf'' (Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).

Jones, Gwyneth: Flowerdust. 23474
Headline: London. 1993.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
Sequel (of sorts) to Divine Endurance (1984). SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
''while FLOWERDUST is a very exciting action adventure involving drug-running and political turmoil in an exotic, far-future Malaysia, it is also shot through with miracles, giving it a vivid, scary, metaphysical power. Gwyneth Jones is one of the greatest science fiction writers working today'' (Kim Stanley Robinson). ''FLOWERDUST is a companion novel to Divine Endurance, set in the same strange and distant future in Southeast Asia, where a matriarchy is both supported and threatened by the mysterious technology of foreigners in great offshore ships. Its heroine is Derveet, a charismatic political rebel leader. A powerful drug, Flowerdust, is causing trouble in the refugee camps, threatening to precipitate revolution too soon. Derveet sets out to stop the spread of the drug and in the process uncovers a secret plot of the mysterious Rulers. And behind the scenes, Divine Endurance and Chosen Among the Beautiful lurk in the shadows''

Jones, Gwyneth: Kairos. 06315
Unwin Hyman: London. 1988.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Hardcover.
INSCRIBED AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR (14th October, 1988) AT TIME OF PUBLICATION.
''KAIROS (1988) - along with DIVINE ENDURANCE (1984) and ESCAPE PLANS (1986) - makes up a kind of thematic trilogy featuring profoundly divided women who descend into the world and redeem it, and is set in a near-future UK degenerating into fascism or anarchy. The title of the book is a theological term designating the moment of fullness in time when Christ appears, and clearly glosses the dramatic centre of each volume of the implied trilogy. In this case the female protagonist descends into the disintegrating UK's netherworld through ingesting a drug, Kairos, which literally recasts reality around her. The world she creates is cleansed of the grosser forms of evil'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
