Edition: First Edition; First Printing
Binding: Hardcover
HC/DJ - fine/near fine. Excellent condition. First printing of first edition. Hardcover clean and unmarked, one tiny edge tear seen. Jacket has light scuffing, light edge crinkling. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 560 pages; "Donaldson returns, with the intent of saying farewell to his most successful creation, Thomas Covenant, in four volumes, of which this large, generally impressive novel is the first. It is 10 years since Thomas Covenant's death, and Linden Avery runs the small mental hospital in which Covenant's widow, Joan, is confined. Roger Covenant, newly turned 21, visits Avery and tries to get his mother released. Failing at that, he kidnaps Joan as well as Avery's adopted son, then commits several murders and flees to the Land, the other world of Covenant sagas. Roger is clearly doing Lord Foul's bidding, and Avery has no choice but to follow him. She discovers that in the Land three and a half millennia have passed. The Haruchai are now called the Masters and distrust Earthpower, and an old man, Anele, who is full of Earthpower, is key to finding the lost and essential Staff of Law. Thus is engendered a quest of formidable complexity, ranging across the Land to end at the seat of the Masters at Revelstone Keep, presently menaced by a host of Demondim, against which, however, the Staff of Law, wielded by battle-worn Avery, no longer offers the only hope. Filled with splendid inventions (occasionally described to the point of prolixity) , this book promises extremely well for the future of the end of the Covenant chronicles.

THE BUNKER
Imprint: Da Capo Press, 2001
Binding: Softcover
Very good - interior pages clean and unmarked, a little light spotting to outer edge of pages. Cover has light corner wear, light scuffing and a little corner curling, price sticker on are. "A powerfully vivid documentary reconstruction of Adolf Hitler's final days". ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 416 pages; From a Reviewer: "A Fascinating Descent into Madness.......O'Donnell was a Signal Corps captain, and one of the first Americans to enter the bunker in July of 1945. His sleuth style of research, combined with exhaustive interviews of Hitlers inner circle have allowed him to re-create for the reader almost exactly what happened in the last two weeks of April 1945. All the major players are described in detail, and every personality type is present in this underground fortress, with its gasproof design, cast iron doors and two seperate levels. You will feel the desperation of these committed and loyal Nazis as the ring around Berlin tightens, and their chances for escape dwindle. O'Donnell covers the most intimate details behind not only the final days, but how each member gained their position of influence, who despised whom, Hitlers manic episodes and his heavy sedation, and the small fish in this pond are not overlooked either, down to the enlisted men who kept the generators running and the switchboard operating, and even these seemingly routine operations were not without interference from some members of the group......
