Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Jens Wylie would never leave Earth, but his heart was with the brave men and women of the first Mars Expedition, enchanted by the siren song of the stars. As U.S. Undersecretary of Space, he thought he could share some small part of that bold adventure. But as the mission progressed, Jens saw the sure signs of imminent disaster, a mission failure that could bring Earth's Space program to a halt. He knew that he must risk his future, and maybe even his life, to keep humanity on the road to the stars-the only question was whether he had the courage to do it. Mass market paperback.

Gordon R. Dickson (1923-2001) was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2000. Black Gate This is among Tor Books' earliest mass market paperback releases — Tom Doherty Associates / Tor was founded in 1980, making a December 1979 printing one of the very first titles issued under the Tor imprint, of considerable interest to Tor Books collectors and bibliographers. No signatures or inscriptions. Brief Mankind has taken its first small step outward from Earth, leaving its footprints on the moon. The next step, perhaps in the closing years of the century, will be many times longer and more perilous — the leap to Mars. The Far Call is a master novelist's evocation of that epic step, of the men and women who unite to make it, of the tangled web of rivalry, stubbornness, greed, and indifference that threatens to prevent it, and of the driving need for humanity to complete it. Amazingly accurate in its portrayal of space exploration as an international effort, the book foreshadows the hard lessons learned in the Challenger and Columbia disasters. A Hugo Award Honorable Mention from a Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee — and a first Tor edition from the very earliest days of one of science fiction's most important publishers.…
