Pournelle, Jerry

West of Honor [Signed]

New York: Baen, 1987. First Baen Printing, August 1987.

Signed by author Jerry Pournelle on the title page without personalization.

No Flaws or Blemishes but light age-toning on the front text-block edge and minor toning inside covers. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. No spine crease appears unread.

Military SF set in Pournelle’s CoDominium future: newly minted Lt. Hal Slater ships to the colony world Arrarat, where convict gangs and a corrupt governor have the planet on the brink. Under the ruthless brilliance of John Christian Falkenberg, the Marines improvise a provisional battalion and learn hard lessons about politics, order, and war at the edge of empire.

Subjects: CoDominium future history; Arrarat colony; John Christian Falkenberg; Convict-settler unrest; Colonial governance and counterinsurgency; Military science fiction; Space opera; Political SF
