JAMES, LAURENCE

The Road

Sevenoaks, Kent: New English Library, 1983. First British Edition. Original decorated wrappers. ISBN: 0450056309. Pages slightly yellowed as normal for age. Large crease in front cover. Slight creasing to back cover and spine. Spine, covers & corners somewhat worn. ; "The Road" by Laurence James is a gripping post-apocalyptic novel set in a desolate future where society has collapsed, and survival is a daily struggle. The story follows a man named Blake, who traverses the dangerous and barren landscape known as The Road. Blake is a lone wanderer, navigating through a world devastated by nuclear war, where lawlessness and savagery reign. As he journeys, Blake encounters various factions, each vying for control and resources in this harsh new reality. Among the chaos, he meets other survivors, some of whom become allies while others pose deadly threats. The novel delves into Blake's internal struggles, his memories of the world before the apocalypse, and his determination to find a place of safety and hope. Laurence James masterfully weaves themes of resilience, morality, and the human spirit's endurance in the face of overwhelming adversity. "The Road" is a stark and intense exploration of a world gone awry and one man's fight to retain his humanity amidst the ruins. Laurence James (1942-2000) was a prolific British author known for his work in science fiction, fantasy, and adventure genres. Born in Bath, England, he developed a passion for writing early on. James gained prominence in the 1970s and 1980s, contributing to popular series such as "Deathlands" and "The Survivalist" under various pseudonyms, including James Axler. His storytelling was marked by vivid world-building, dynamic characters, and gripping plots. James's ability to craft compelling narratives earned him a dedicated readership. His works continue to be celebrated for their imagination and excitement, cementing his legacy as a notable figure in speculative fiction and adventure literature. ; 12mo; 192 pages. Good .

MOORCOCK, MICHAEL (EDITOR)

New Worlds Sf. April 1965. Vol. 48. No. 149. The Life Buyer by E.C. Tubb

London: Roberts & Vintner Ltd, 1965. First Edition. Original Decorated Wrappers. Pages yellowed as normal for age. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; Issue 142 of the New Worlds SF magazine, edited by Michael Moorcock, marks a notable shift in the magazine's editorial direction, combining traditional science fiction themes with avant-garde storytelling techniques. This issue features an array of narratives that illustrate this transformative approach, particularly highlighted by J. G. Ballard's "Equinox." The story "Equinox" by J. G. Ballard, which opens the issue, portrays a journey through a surreal and vividly described jungle. This narrative sets the tone for the magazine under Moorcock's editorship, focusing on the transformation of the mundane into something complex and jeweled. Brian W. Aldiss's "Never Let Go of My Hand" follows, mixing conventional 1960s domestic settings with unconventional elements like reverse time flow on an alien planet, showcasing Aldiss's evolving narrative style. John Brunner's "The Last Lonely Man" discusses futuristic ideas about consciousness sharing after death, though its execution, particularly the Americanized dialogue, received mixed reviews. Barrington J. Bayley's "The Star Virus" also appears, offering a traditional space opera that somewhat lacks Bayley's typical originality. Non-fiction content includes an editorial by Moorcock and a book review column by Ballard, which engages with literary discussions but critiques the works of William Burroughs without high enthusiasm. Overall, issue 142 of New Worlds SF reflects a period of experimentation and transition, where Moorcock begins to steer the magazine towards a blend of classic sci-fi elements and new-wave literary complexity. This issue not only features imaginative narratives like "Equinox" but also sets the stage for the magazine's future direction under Moorcock's innovative leadership; 17.1 x 11 x 1 cms; 128 pages. Very Good with no dustjacket .
