Isle of Woman: A Novel of Human History - Geodyssey Vol.I ,by Piers Anthony, Tor. NY 1993. First edition

A magnificent saga of passion, heroism and survival, Piers Anthony's ISLE OF WOMAN is a tale like no other ever written. It is nothing less than the story of humanity itself, from its savage origins to its troubled future, told through the lives of one family reborn throughout history.
As vividly exciting as Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear, as rich in exotic details as James Clavell's Shogun as vast in scope as Ales Haley's Roots or James Michener's the Source, ISLE OF WOMAN is a powerful and prophetic masterwork from one of the bestselling storytellers of our time. - back cover.

The time is the future. The place, an America so isolated by fear that it is cut off from the rest of the world by a massive defense system. Into this armed, barricaded state comes a young Russian scientist bearing a strange --and almost unbelievable story:
  Superior intellegent life--of a far higher order than any on earth--has been detected near the planet Pluto. Immune themselves by virtue of their far greater intellegence, these Aliens are about to destroy the planet Earth.
  The only person who can provide the solution is a brilliant and clairvoyant young American black, hunted by the ever-present police, hidden far within the turbulent, festering slum of one of America's jungle cities. Somehow he must be found, and found before the planet melts in one final holocaust. . . .
  An unusual and provocative novel, packed with action and suspense leading to a shocking denoument. - front flap.

Clone, by Richard Cowper, Doubleday Science Fiction. NY. 1972. Book Club Edition

... Sir Gordon saw the clones glance around at each other and then turn back to confront their maker. The next instant Professor Poynter's head had vanished from his screen and been promptly replaced by that of a large pink pig! The four boys promptly collapsed in hysterical laughter. The pig-headed chimera, apparently unable to divine the cause of their mirth, paused in mid-sentance, whereupon its head was again removed and replaced in rapid succession by that of a chimpanzee, a thinoceros, a polar bear and a St. Bernard.
  Sir Gordon was out of his chair and halfway across the room to the screen when Professor Poynter reappeared, still seemingly oblivious fo what had been going on, looking exactly as she had looked except that this time she was completely naked and, as far as Sir Gordon could judge, adorned with at least one extra pair of breasts. 'Extraordinary', murmered the Senior Scientist of the M.O.P., retreating fascinated to his chair. 'Doesn't she realise'?- back cover

Stranger In A Strange Land : for the first time the Uncut Original , by Robert A. Heinlein, Ace/Putnam Book. 1991 Limited Edition

Thirty years ago, G.P.Putnam's Sons published a novel that not only would become the bible of the "love generation" but also would transcent the science fiction genre to acheive the status of a modern classic--and sell millions of copies. The book was Robert A. Heinlein's earthy "divine comedy" Stranger In A Strange Land--the epic saga of an earthling, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with superhuman powers and a total ignorance for the mores of man. His name is Valentine Micheal Smith, and he is destined to become a freak, a media commodity, a scam artist, a searcher, a sexual pioneer, a neon evangelist, a martyr, and finally, a messiah.
  To commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of its original publication, Putnam proudly presents the uncut version of this watershed work. Here is every word, every turn of phrase, exactly as Heinlein intended it. Bigger, richer than its predecessor, this edition describes a geopolitical world and a post-holocast America considerably more plausible today than in 1961. Here, fully presented for the first time, is all the irreverence, all the irony, all the frank sensuality for which Stranger is legendary. here too are the roots of the New Age culture as they were first embraced by a freer generation thirty years ago. - Dust Jacket Flaps.

This hard back book is in AS NEW condition. The dust jack is in near perfect condition, with minor crinkling of the lower front edge, and a crease in the front flap.
