Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex is a speculative science-fiction novel set in a Milky Way galaxy that is filled with intelligent extraterrestrial life. It has strong and smart female characters in lead roles, who like science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). It has strong and smart male characters too! Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex is about children, friendship and adventure. It's about dogs, and the special connection that can exist between people and the canines they love. It's about neurodivergent kids, those children who don't fit in with the 'normal' kids at school, and it's about diversity. It's about a love for and connection with math, astronomy, space and the universe, and a longing to know more and to find life elsewhere. The heroine, 11-year-old Emily Jayne Hutchings, her canine sister Rex, and her cousin Sarah Spiller, need help from their friends to escape evil time travelling aliens and find the one extraterrestrial species that can help them.

Sent by Niven to his literary agent J. B. Pinker, whose date stamp is on the first of Secker's letters. All four items in fair condition, on aged and lightly-creased paper. Secker's first letter: 1p., 4to. He begins by praising 'Denny's display' [a window display of Niven's work in Denny's bookshop in the Strand]: 'I am wondering whether you managed to get the photograph into any of the papers. Shall I send it to the Bookman?' He continues: 'The sales [of Niven's novel The Porcelain Lady] up to date amount to 434 in England. It is not as good as we could have hoped, but I believe it will still go on. I shall certainly continue to advertise and do all I can.' He then makes an appeal to Niven: 'Will you do me a favour? I want Pinker to give me a reasonable opportunity of having your name in my list in January next, for I still believe very strongly in your work, and when your sudden success comes, I should like it to come in partnership with me. There would then be no reason for us to separate or for you to try your luck with another publisher. I want, in a word, one more chance.' Niven's first reply: 2pp., 4to. Containing an autograph addition by Niven, with the word 'Copy.' in his hand at the head, and '(Signed) F. N.' by him at the end. He begins his reply with a long paragraph regarding the Denny display and The Bookman, which was photographed by the 'Record Press people', who 'tried to get the photograph in the papers but were met by the objection that it was too much of an advertisement'. Niven now turns to the source of his dissatisfaction. 'You speak of advertising. I feel that this is your affair, and am chary about treading on it; but as Romeike and Curtice have instructions to send me cuttings of advertisements as well as of reviews and cuttings of my articles and so forth, and as they have not sent one advertisement fo The Porcelain Lady it looks either as if the advertisements were in remote organs - or else that Romeike is remiss. I hope it is the latter explanation. He has missed things before I know. Every now and then he gets slack.' Niven now sets aside all disingenuousness: 'As for future books: when last we had a talk on the matter you will remember that we agreed that even if I left you for a book or two, that did not imply a regretful farewell. We touched upon the various facets in talk; I don't like leaving you; if I feel that I must with one book - with two books - with any books - I must just repeat again that I will do so with regret but not with finality, because - I find it very unpleasant to say, evidently I shall have to - because, despite the attractions of Number Five John Street you don't advertise; [he adds here in autograph: '(I mean in the sense of the phrase used when people say "He advertises")'] and your men don't make booksellers take books; and people write to me (acquaintances I have on the Press to whom I have not made presentation of copies) and say: "I haven't seen a copy of your new book yet. I have asked the editor to give it to me, but he says he hasn't seen it."' He continues by describing Secker as a publisher he is 'pleased to be published by': but I am not wealthy and if I can get more money for a book or two - until you find it your policy to "boost" just a little bit more - I am really afraid I shall have to think of "boosting" and the farther hope that "boosting" gives of probable second editions, as well as of the grace with which my books are given to the five hundred who look for what they want instead of taking what they are told to take.' He concedes that he is still 'an unknown quantity', and concludes: 'I hope to have some years yet of good work, and various work; and I hope that some of it will be published by you. / Let me take this opportunity again to wish success to Five John Street. My wife sends kind regards.' Secker's second letter: 1p., 4to, with 1p., 4to, of accounts. 'I see your point of view perfectly, and of course if you feel that I am not doing you just.
