Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Danny Flynn (illustrator). 1989 Edition. © 1978: 1st in the 'Proteus' series of books. 1st printing of 1989 edition:- Synopsis: "Would you like to be rich, really rich? Why not develop a new form to catch the public fancy? BEC will sell you a low-cost experimental package. Includes everything that you need to create your very own form change program."Then have it submitted to the Office of Form Control, maybe even licensed. But the vetting's very strict. Computer augmented bio-feedback and chemotherapy have made it all possible, but there are dangers. In the Old City, away from the fashionable, cosmetically changed crowds, the more grotesque failed experiments prowl the slum alleyways. And now a chance computer enquiry has thrown up an appalling possibility. Not only is an unauthorised program under way, but the man responsible is the most senior and most brilliant in the field. The whole definition of humanity is under threat and the stability of a grossly overcrowded world at risk:- Review(s): "Charles is one of those SF writers who make the rest of us think seriously about a career in retail sales" - Spider Robinson / "Opening a Sheffield book is like switching on a mind-link" - Robert L Forward / An exciting, fast-paced read, reminding me in many ways of Larry Niven. A strikingly good first novel" - Analog:- (original cost £2.99). Seller Inventory # 18.005.00057
