Pournelle, Jerry: King David's Spaceship. 23639
Simon & Schuster: NY. 1981.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Cloth-backed boards.
''his first sf story, ''Peace with Honor'', appeared in 1971, and forms part of the author's most extended series, the CoDominium sequence, earlier parts of which are named after their chief military protagonist, a cunning, honourable mercenary and military genius named Falkenberg who, in a period of civilian stupidity and venality (it is a sort of period often depicted in Pournelle's work), conspires with the CoDominium military force to maintain a human presence in those worlds already colonized by mankind. He appears in West of Honor (1976 Canada) and The Mercenary (fixup 1977), and in Prince of Mercenaries (fixup 1989),Go Tell the Spartans (1991) and Prince of Sparta (1993), both with S.M. Stirling. Set considerably later in the CoDominium world -- after the rise and fall of a first Empire of Man, an interregnum, and the birth of the Second Empire -- A Spaceship for the King (1973; exp vt KING DAVID'S SPACESHIP 1981) also features a tough military genius, whose resemblance to Falkenberg is obviously of thematic importance, for the author argues implicitly in the sequence that civilization can be sustained only through a hierarchical structuring of society which -- perhaps rather magically -- manages to avoid bureaucratic sclerosis, and through the maintenance of such military virtues as honour and loyalty. These arguments are most clearly on view in the series' climax, THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE (1974) with Larry Niven, set in a period when the CoDominium has evolved into a full-blown Galactic Empire with all the trappings'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in an almost fine dustjacket with a little wear along the bottom edge of the spine panel.
