Subject: SF/Fantasy Book Sale:  Box#1

Box 1 of the books my mom was tired of storing in her cellar, and I 
don't have the room to store in my small apartment. Amongst the
classics, chestnuts, and ephmera are some books left from previous
sales, but half of this stuff and all on the next list is new.
Paperbacks unless otherwise noted, I'll pay postage for any order
over $25.00.  Send email if interested.

Alan Dean Akers	       1:Transit to Scorpio	              $2.00 
	                      2:Suns of Scorpio                 	$2.00

The first two of MANY Dray Prescot of Antares books, SF/Fantasy
adventure novels where an earthman is magically transported to an exotic planet
full of different races and empires, where he struggles against
impossible odds to conquer and protect an empire and save the
beautiful damsel (though not quite that sexist).  The author draws
colorful images of the places and peoples and intrigues, and while
the pace is almost deliberate by the standards of this kind of 
fiction it is also steady:  good, brain candy reads.

                      	The Volcano Orge	                  $2.00
    This is a take-off on the Doc Savage novels, where a truly amazing
    hero backed-up by almost amazing and offbeat assistants battles
    world-wrecking evils of sorcery and super-science.  No Pulitzer
    prizes to be won here, but fun, fast adventure fiction.

William Chester        Kioga of the Wilderness            $2.00
    Classic "lost world" adventure, where a young boy lost in
    the sub-arctic is raised in the wilds of a jungle kept warm

Michael Critchon	      Andromeda Strain	                  $2.00
    The movie was great, but the book is terrific:  a space probe
    brings back a deadly micro-organism, and a team of scientists
    has only a few days to find an antidote before the virus hits
    the West Coast of the United States. 

Gordon Dickson        	Lost Dorsai(Oversized Pprbck,

     A book that defined the genre!  Prof. Challenger leads an

C.J. Cutliffe Hyne	    The Lost Continent                 $2.00
      Published originally in 1899, this first paperback printing
      (1972) is one of the best novels of the fall of Atlantis.
      Though the writing style is a little stilted (despite what
      the introduction and cover blub say), it is very imaginative, 
      and a clear influence on fantasy writers like Lovecraft, Derleth, 
      Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard.

      truth!
