6" x 9", 250 page hardcover with dustjacket titled THEM BONES by Howard Waldrop/ Mark V. Ziesing, ISBN # 0-929480-04-x, First Edition, Copyright 1989/ Them Bones is the first solo novel by science fiction writer Howard Waldrop. It was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award in 1984, but lost out to William Gibson's Neuromancer. Madison Yazoo Leake, of the bombed-out, radiation-ridden 21st century, wanted to go back in time to stop World War III before it began. When he stepped through the time portal, he thought he was entering 1930s-era Louisiana. Instead, he found himself in a world where Arabs had explored America, Christianity and the Roman Empire had never existed, and Aztecs performed human sacrifices near the Mississippi as woolly mammoths roamed nearby... The book is complete and in VERY FINE condition with some overall light wear. On the title page, the author has flat signed his name "Howard Waldrop". |
