HALF LIFE
signed first edition
1999 · New York
by Clement, Hal (pseudonym of Harry Clement Stubbs)
New York: Tor, 1999. Octavo, boards. First edition. Presentation copy with signed inscription by Stubbs to his editor on the title page. HALF LIFE, set on another puzzle planet, in this case Titan, confronts various protagonists -- none of whom actually meet one another, as they are in quarantine due to the opportunistic plagues which are destroying Homo sapiens on Earth -- with challenges of a dauntingly impersonal nature; though the creation of disease-resistant strains of life may be the saving outcome." - John Clute, SFE (online). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. A nice association copy. (#103370) (Inventory #: 103370)
