Dare (The Gregg Press science fiction series) - Hardcover
Though Earthmen first landed on the planet Dare 300 years earlier, they were still bound by the same standards of snobbery and fear... until Jack Cage, eldest son of a wealthy human, found himself strangely drawn to a spectacularly beautiful native. To consort with her meant death. But why? And what were humans doing on the planet anyway? Philip Jose Farmer's award-winning masterpiece is brought back to life in this beautiful package.

Book Description Octavo, cloth. First hardcover edition. Text offset from that of the 1965 Ballantine Books edition. Presentation copy with signed inscription by Farmer to influential F&SF critic, editor and publisher David G. Hartwell, the book's editor on the title page. New introduction by Moshe Feder and David G. Hartwell. "A lost Elizabethan colony in sixteenth-century Virginia was transported to a far planet which has been named Dare. Centuries later, the colonists still lead a backward, agrarian existence. The hero falls in love with a humanoid alien woman, and this moves him to rebel against his straitlaced society. A pleasant morality tale, written in the 1950s but not published at that time." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 86. A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (#152877). Seller Inventory # 152877
