WRIGHT, Lan. Space Born
WRIGHT, Lan. Space Born. London: Herbert Jenkins. 1964. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s red cloth lettered in white to the spine, in the wonderful dust jacket designed by Brian Lewis. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the contents clean and bright throughout with a few very faint spots to top edge. The dust jacket price-clipped with several small chips and nicks to the corners and joints a little nibbled at, a couple of neat tape repairs to verso, and some rubbing at spine head and tail. A nice example overall. Uncommon.
Lionel Percy Wright’s later novel (published simultaneously as an Ace paperback under the title ‘Exile from Xanadu), in which the protagonist is the only survivor of an interplanetary flight, haphazardly reconstructed with prosthetic limbs, who later finds himself the key to ‘a battle between an overcrowded Earth and a Terran empire among the stars’ [from front flap].
