Wolfbane (VGSF Classics, No. 7) - Softcover
Something of a minor sf classic, by the heralded team of Pohl and Kornbluth. First serialized in Galaxy Science Fiction, October and November 1957. The Earth has been torn away from the Sun, kidnapped by a runaway planet , whose inhabitants - enigmatic, utterly alien Pyramids - have their own plans for Earth's resources. And humankind, depending for warmth on a constantly renewed but woefully inadequate Moon, wracked by hunger and ruled by a slavish conformity to tradition, is dying out. But there are those who defy convention and refuse to give in. Feared and persecuted by the ordinary citizens, these 'Wolves' are preparing to fight back against the Pyramids.

Book Description Paperback: 7¾" x 5". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Mark Salwowski (illustrator). 1986 Edition. © 1957: A stand-alone novel by Frederik Pohl & C M Kornbluth. 1st printing of 1986 edition. Gollancz Classic SF Series #7:- Synopsis: Mankind in 'Wolfbane' exists precariously, at the mercy of the "Pyramids" who have torn Earth away from its sun. Human society is dying: ruled by hunger, slavish conformity to tradition and hysterical fear of those few people who dare to break the conventions. But one man still fights - a fugitive escaped from execution, a dead man with a living super-brain. A wolf in sheep's clothing:- Review(s): "'Wolfbane', newly revised for this edition by Frederik Pohl, is dazzingly [sic] inventive and even its most fantastic stretches of imagination remain hideously plausible" / "I don't know anyone who comes near Pohl in his ability to show the crazy in the logical, and cause the uneasy feeling that the seeds of the utterly inhibited society of 'Wolfbane' are ready to germinate" - John Wyndham / "Real vintage SF" - Punch / "A joy, brilliantly detailed and acutely convincing in the working out of all its fertilely conceived ideas" - New York Herald Tribune / "Pohl's sensibility and Kornbluth's ruthlessness combine to make wonderful science fiction" - Edmund Crispin / "A fine and disturbing example of the lucidly fantastic" - Robert Conquest:- (original cost £2.95).
