Seller's Description:
Very good. Mass market (rack) paperback. Glued binding. Audience: General/trade. No previous owner's name. Clean, tight pages. No bent corners. No remainder mark.
The architecture of this story is flawless, its entertainment value, undeniable. Niven sets forth characters you can identify with, and lets the mysteries inherent in a future needing to be explored sneak up behind you with an ACME mallet. Just when all seems lost, he spins you around and keeps you going, straight into a world that is at once familiar and completely alien. Not only was the book enjoyable the first time around, but after years and years, the story is still a great read, and somehow always finds its way into my top 10 list. If you can't read 'A World Out of Time' again and again, you've never read it.
