Description: THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHER'S RARE FIRST EDITION OF PAUL J. MCAULEY " CHILD OF THE RIVER: BOOK 1 OF THE CONFLUENCE " HARDCOVER BOOK PUBLISHED BY AVON EOS PRESS TM AND WRITTEN BY AUTHOR PAUL J. MCAULEY An Arthur C. Clarke and John W. Campbell Memorial Award-winner for his novel FAIRYLAND, Paul J. McAuley designs and fabricates remarkably intricate worlds. He builds some out of solid bricks of science, some from granite carved from the rich quarry of human history and experience. All are marvelous constructs of invention and thought; enthralling landscapes to wander, explore and lose oneself in. He offers now a world that stands distinctly apart: a place of savagery, secrets and war; the home of ten thousand extraordinary bloodlines ruled by universal devotion to absent gods; a realm of merchants, mercenaries, ghouls, heretics, bureaucrats and feral machines; a world called Confluence. CHILD OF THE RIVER is the first book of the end times; the beginning chapter in the final great epic of a mysterious civilization. In it, a singular young man named Yama makes his way from a ghostly city of the dead to a metropolis of living wonders Series: Confluence Trilogy ( Book 1 ) Hardcover: 400 pages Publisher: Avon / Eos 1st Edition ( June 1998 ) Language: English ISBN-10: 0380975157 ISBN-13: 978-0380975150 Product Dimensions: 7.3 x 5.4 x 1.1 inches I use this grading system to describe all my hardcover books available in my eBay store Very Fine (VF).
