by Brian Stableford
Product Group: Book
ISBN: 0929480805
Binding/Media: Hardcover - 207 pages
Condition: Very Good
Comments: Hardcover with dj & mylar protection, this is a nice ex-library copy of Brian Stableford's foray into the style of "scientific romance" a la H.G. Wells. Part of the fun is spotting the names from history and literature who pop up in major and minor roles: a "Great Detective" & his Dr. Watson-like friend who chronicles his adventures, an Eastern European count plagued by reputation-destroying rumours of vampirism, H.G. Wells the writer, Nicolas Tesla, more. If you are fond of early SF in the scientific romance mode, you will like this book. If you prefer fast-action contemporary vampire fiction, you may not. Pages are clean, book has usual ex-library markings.
