Some slight edge wear and a couple of tiny closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, some slight yellowing to jacket. Not price clipped ($17.50), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 464pp. A vast alien landscape, a recognisable human culture, yet evolved in strange ways by the forces of an inimical nature provide a panoramic backdrop for the romantic adventures of a large cast of memorable and attractive characters. 'Courtship Rite' is an SF novel by Canadian American writer Donald Kingsbury, originally serialized in Analog magazine in 1982. The book is set in the same universe as some of his other stories, such as 'Shipwright' (1978) and the as yet unpublished sequel 'The Finger Pointing Solward'. In the UK, the novel was entitled 'Geta'. 'Courtship Rite' was the 1st winner of the Compton Crook Award for best first novel and was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1983. The novel details the attempts of two of the priest clans of Geta, the Kaiel and the Mnankrei, to expand into territory controlled by the Stgal. Ultimately, all the priest clans are trying to attain dominance of the planet through the use of new technology, propaganda, treachery and 'war', a new concept in this world. Previously killing was done merely in order to provide food. SF writer and poet Jo Walton has remarked that 'Courtship Rite' is about a distant generation of colonists on a planet with no usable animals. This is the book with everything, where everything includes cannibalism, polyamory, evolution and getting tattoos so your skin will make more interesting leather when you're dead'. A compelling and fascinating book, I only wish Donald Kingsbury would hurry up and publish the sequel! Scarce signed. Jacket by Rowena Morrill (illustratore). Signed by Author(s).…
