Then, one day, news of spacemen landing in a remote city gives him his only chance of ever returning home. All he has to do is escape slavery, travel thousands of miles, free the spacers from prison before they are executed, and get aboard their spaceship. Philip Jose' Farmer's first full-length novel, The Green Odyssey, is an uproarious, hell-bent adventure story combining fantasy, imagination, and science with a liberal dash of humor. It is in the best tradition of adventure science fiction, a swashbuckling tale of a resourceful spaceman who is, however, uneasily aware that he may have been miscast. Fortunately, he has the assistance of a large, gorgeous, energetic, and adoring female who is supremely confident of his ability to handle all comers. With her help, that is. Note on Gregg Press printings: Many of the Gregg Press SF books were printed in editions of only 200 to 300 copies. Quite a few of these were sold to libraries, so finding non-exlibrary copies of all the books can be challenging. Some of the books that sold well were reprinted. It is possible to tell on many of those that were reprinted if a book is a first printing or not but not in all cases. Most first printings stated this on the copyright page but according to Hartwell, a few first printings had no statement of first printing and a few reprint runs didn't get the first printing statements removed. Condition: Binding - very good, top and bottom of spine a bit bumped, minor edgewear and rubbing, page edges very slightly soiled. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
