Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Zustand: Fair: Heavier signs of wear. 1977 Edition. © 1974: 1st in the 'Soul Of The Robot' series of books. 1st printing of 1977 edition (Orbit logo on cover & sign, though no mention on copyright page):- Synopsis: "We are your parents," the wife said in a hesitant, hopeful voice. "We made you. You are our son." Jasperodus, the hulking, bronze-black all-purpose robot they had created, laughed harshly and moved across the room to the door. Opening it, he walked out of their lives. Thus, within seconds of his creation, Jasperodus sets out to explore the world. There is much to explore in the bizarre future he inhabits, and his adventures lead him to become warrior, tyrant, renegade and statesman as he plots to overthrow King Zhorm, attempts to re-create the Old Empire and seizes the leadership of a robot revolution. But Jasperodus has more private battles to fight, more secret quests to pursue. No amount of power, glory, wealth and - yes, even women, can bring him the satisfaction of being a person. Robots have no soul, everyone knows that, but Jasperodus cannot accept it: either he is human at heart or there is a disastrous fault in his programming:- (original cost £0.70).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Zustand: Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1974 Edition. © 1973: 2nd in the 'Chronicles Of Corum' series of books. 3rd printing of 1974 edition. A Quartet book that somewhat confusingly has the 'Orbit' books logo on both the spine and the front cover:- Synopsis: The Archdruid Amergin is in captivity and under enchantment. Without him the Mabden people can never rise up and overthrow their oppressors, the Fhoi Myore, the Gods of Limbo. But his release depends on the location of the Golden Oak and the Silver Ram. Thus Corum undertakes his second great quest, and though he must visit powerful and treacherous places, struggle with fearful enemies - Prince Gaynor the Damned, the Ghoolegh living dead, the People of the Pines, and the Hounds of Kerenos - he vows to return with Amergin safe, or not return at all:- Review(s): "Moorcock's work disturbs and perplexes but never soothes or evades. In fact, it is precisely his determination to use the medium of popular fiction for his own highly ambitious artistic ends that has made him a writer of such stature. His newest trilogy in this genre is perhaps the best of the lot, containing landscapes and characters to rival those of Hieronymus Bosch or Goya" - Time Out / "His baroque fantasies have something in common with the worlds of Mervyn Peake or James Branch Cabell" - Sunday Times:- (original cost £0.60).

For over sixty years the Palestinian Arabs have been deprived of the independence which was promised to them by the Covenant of the League of Nations. During the inter~war years there was a massive immigration of Jews into Palestine which seriously disturbed the demographic, economic and social balance of the territory. The result was that by 1948 the Jews were in a position to attain their statehood in Palestine by force of arms. The Palestinian Arabs have been denied the like opportunity by the same methods. This book contains an account of these events and a legal analysis of their nature and consequences. Sooner or later, the tensions of the region which have already erupted into four major wars are likely to explode into a fifth, unless justice be done to the Palestinian Arabs and peace for all in the region realized. This book advances proposals for such a peaceful solution based upon justice according to law. …

Second-hand book dealer's stamp to inside front cover:- Synopsis: A red indian airman goes AWOL. Into a parallel universe! There was always a chance of not making it back. Death or capture were likely ends to this raid over Nazi-occupied Romania. But for two of the crew a much less predictable fate was in store. Suddenly, they had been shot down. And suddenly, strangely, they found themselves not in enemy territory, but in another country and another time. No 20th-century language was spoken, and the men were carrying bows and arrows. One man, the navigator, died. The other, a science fiction fan, could only assume that they had entered a parallel universe through a temporarily opened gate in time. And as an Iriquois Indian, he had an idea where he had ended up:- (original cost £0.60). Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator).…

Percy Toplis was WW1's most guarded secret, the ringleader of the Étaples mutiny. In 1917 British, New Zealand and Australian troops stationed at the Étaples Training Camp in northern France protested against the inhuman conditions. The mutineers commandeered the camp's weapons and marched into Étaples, holding the town for three days, attacking military police and the commander of the training camp, General Thomson. Several of the mutineers were executed, but Toplis remained at large for three years. The Army immediately covered up the mutiny, thousands of the participants would die shortly afterwards in the Passchendaele offensive. The survivors remained silent for over fifty years while all records of the Étaples Board of Enquiry were destroyed. It's only when John Fairley and William Allison tracked down survivors of the mutiny, and relatives and friends of Percy Toplis, that this story came to public attention. 'The Monocled Mutineer' became a national sensation when it was made into an acclaimed, and controversial, BBC drama in 1986, starring Paul McGann. 'The Monocled Mutineer' asks was Percy Toplis an anti establishment hero? What made the monocled mutineer the most wanted man in Britain. Jacket by Bob Marchant (illustrator). …

SYNOPSIS: In 1901, ibn Saud, twenty-one years old and penniless, rode out on camelback from Kuwait, accompanied by forty men, to reconquer his father's kingdom. At his death, fifty years later, he was the undisputed ruler of most of Arabia and one of the richest men in the world. This account of his rise to fame and fortune is one of the most adventurous and fascinating life-stories of this century. Ibn Saud was a fearless fighter, a master of desert war strategy, yet also a suave and charming diplomat who could show great clemency to the defeated. He waged a long fight against foreign influence: against Turkey whose army died in the desert and against Britain. Ironically it was America which drew the oil from the deserts and earned unimaginable wealth for ibn Saud--wealth which brought the near destruction of his life's ideals.
