Millennium by John Varley: 1985 First Edition Sci-Fi Paperback
Millennium by John Varley: 1985 First Edition Sci-Fi Paperback
The Master of Ballantrae Robert Louis Stevenson c1900 Mershon Company Hardcover
8vo green cloth wrapped hardcover with white chalked lettering on the front board, cloth head and tail band in binding, unadorned end pages, eggshell paper, 310 pages. This is a "very good" antique book with a tight binding and crisp board hinges. There are no loose, torn or folded pages. There is numerical pencil inscription inside the rear paste-down, likely a bookstore inventory code, otherwise no writing. The text block edges are relatively uniform in color all around, with the top edge being somewhat dusted. The front lower board corner is fairly well bumped, with the other three being less so. All corner tips show some wear to the cloth at the tips but not worn through. The spine head and heel are bumped and have some edge wear, but again not worn through. The chalk lettering on the front board is complete, but does reflect some rubbing as is typical of this delicate method of decoration. There is a stray mark on the cover that appears to be chalk. The lettering on the spine is just about completely rubbed away. A pleasing vintage tome. Contains a one page preface addressed to Sir Percy Florence and Lady Shelley from Waikiki, dated May 17, 1889. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Vintage Sci-Fi Paperback: My Name is Legion by Roger Zelazny, 1981 Edition
Shows slight minimal aging and a little edge wear on covers, but no significant flaws (no writing, tags, marks, loose, torn or folded pages). Certainly a great addition to a vintage science fiction collection and a worthy gift! See the accompanying images for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, with tracking. About the book: "My Name is Legion" by Roger Zelazny is a "science fiction" story line that combines cyberpunk elements with existential depth. The book consists of three interconnected novellas ("The Eve of Ragnarok," "Kjwalll'kje'k'koothaïlll'kje'k," and "'Home is the Hangman") that follow a futuristic investigator known only as "Legion"—a man with no legal identity who manipulates global surveillance systems to solve crimes. The novellas: "The Eve of RUMOKO" – The protagonist must uncover a saboteur on a project using nuclear explosives to create artificial islands. "'Kjwalll'kje'k'koothai'lll'kje'k" – Set at a research station in the Bahamas, the hero investigates a diver’s mysterious death, possibly involving dolphins. "Home Is the Hangman" – A sentient robot, lost years before, may have returned to Earth to kill its creators. These stories are linked by their protagonist and themes of identity, surveillance, and the ethical dilemmas of technology. They are not directly connected to Zelazny’s other famous works like "The Last Defender of Camelot" or "For a Breath I Tarry". Why You Should Read It: 1) Cyberpunk Before Cyberpunk – Zelazny’s vision of a hyper-surveilled society predates Neuromancer and other cyberpunk classics, making it a fascinating proto-cyberpunk gem. 2) Philosophical & Psychological Depth – The protagonist grapples with identity, free will, and the nature of humanity, themes that remain deeply relevant in today’s AI-driven world. 3) Award-Winning Excellence – The final novella, "'Home is the Hangman," won both the Nebula in 1976 and Hugo 1976 for Best Novella. Also nominated for the Locus Award for Best Collection in 1977. If You Enjoyed These, then "My Name is Legion" is likely to be in your wheelhouse: >>John Brunner – The Shockwave Rider (for its take on computer networks and identity) >>Alfred Bester – The Demolished Man (for noir SF with a psychological edge) >>Philip K. Dick – A Scanner Darkly (for its themes of surveillance and shifting identity) Interesting Facts: The second story’s title, "'Kjwalll'kje'k'koothai'lll'kje'k," is intentionally unpronounceable, reflecting the communication barrier between humans and dolphins—a clever nod to the story’s central mystery. The title "My Name is Legion" is a biblical reference, taken from the Gospel of Mark, where a demon identifies himself as "Legion, for we are many." Zelazny chose this title to reflect the protagonist's fragmented identity and his ability to assume different roles and personas. Relevance Today: The themes explored in "My Name is Legion," such as the impact of technology on society and the nature of identity, are still relevant today. Zelazny's vision of a future where technology has blurred the lines between human and machine is both fascinating and cautionary.
