1956 No Man Friday
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First edition, first impression.
With the publisher's clipped dust wrapper.
Arguably Rex Gordon's best known work, No Man Friday follows the aftermath of a British rocket crash-landing onto Mars, where the crew's sole survivor discovers Martian species and nourishment.
The title and first edition cover both reference Robinson Crusoe, and the story can be described as a science fiction "robinsonade" set on Mars.
Rex Gordon is the pseudonym of Stanley Bennett Hough, whose works covered space travel, time travel, alien encounters and planetary colonisation. His other novels concerned nuclear warfare, neo-Nazis, crime and political crisis.
