As the creature lay dying at his feet, Honor White Jackson partook of the fruit of knowledge. Forevermore he was committed to another life - and the bitter discovery of genius, cruelty and the human paradox. Book.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The Amsirs and the Iron Thorn by Algis Budrys is a classic science fiction / fantasy tale . This book is in very good condition, but it is missing a small portion of the cover where it appears there has been a scrape. It's minor, and doesn't jump out at you unless you look for it. It's about the size of a pinky-nail in the middle of the cover on the left side of the front. The book is otherwise sturdy, all pages sit firmly in the binding, though creased, the spine is unbroken. It does appear as though moisture wear has impacted the book, but it has not affected its integrity; there's just some mild warping. 159 Numbered Pages.
