Title: Four-Day Planet
Description: New York, NY: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1961. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. Illustrated by Charles Geer. Cover Art; This book is in Very Good condition and has a Very Good dust jacket. The book is in generally clean, bright condition. There is some beginning bumping to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's inked gift notation on the front endpaper. The price clipped dust jacket has a couple of small edge tears, some light rubbing and wrinkling to the top front flap corner and a tiny chip to the top spine end. "Piper's stories fall into two groups: stark space opera, such as Space Viking, or stories of cultural conflict or misunderstanding, such as Little Fuzzy or the Paratime stories. A running theme in his work is that history repeats itself; past events will have direct and clear analogues in the future. The novel Uller Uprising is the clearest example of this, being based on the Sepoy Mutiny. A similar example is the very title of Space Viking, although the novel is not a direct reinterpretation of a specific historical precedent. A later theme in the book involves the takeover of a planet in a manner reminiscent of the rise of Adolf Hitler. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .
