Book Description Hardback: 8¾" x 5½". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). Book Club Edition. © 1987: 1st in the 'Heorot' series of books. 1st printing of 1987 edition:- Synopsis: The island of Avalon, on the fourth planet of Tau Ceti, is home for the first party of human colonists to venture forth from the Solar System. And an idyllic place it is too, free of the monstrous creatures which roam the planet's continents. Crops flourish, the local fauna are not only edible but delicious, the climate is favourable. The colony quickly settles into an easy-going lifestyle as it builds its bridgehead; only one man, Cadmann Weyland, tries to insist on a more cautious and defensive approach, and he is derided for his pains. But Cadmann is proved terribly right, as things start to go mysteriously wrong, and the colonists begin to realise that on Avalon there are complex and lethal biological puzzles which they have not even begun to understand, including the strangest and most dangerous creature any human has ever had to face:- Review(s): "Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, authors of the international bestsellers 'Footfall' and 'The Mote In God's Eye', here team up with Steven Barnes to present the most convincing and hair-raising novel ever of humans struggling to survive on a strange new world":- (original cost unmarked).
