ex-ChUSFA: stamp on first inside page, page 85. MORE INFO Tight and square with flat spine - probably unread. Back cover shows a haze of dots (of ink/paper) that it picked up from another book - where close contact with another book caused ink transfer (see Scan #2.) | |||
The Dumarest series lasted about 30 books, and I would recommend most of the early ones (particularly the Ace-Doubles) as good reading. If you're not familiar with the premise, Earl Dumarest was born on Earth, but wandered so far from it in a crowded galaxy that people in the region he is currently in think that Earth is but a legend, like "El Dorado." (The Traveller gaming system, with High and Low Passage, quicktime and basic, is loosely based on the very populated galaxy Dumarest travels in.) He picks up friends and enemies, and occaisionally a clue pointing towards Earth. |
