Terry Pratchett – Strata – First UK Edition 1981
£300.00
A first edition, first printing published by Colin Smythe in 1981. A very good book without inscriptions (one small letter to the foot of the front pastedown) – spotting to the top edge in a very good unclipped wrapper with a closed tear to the front panel.
“Strata” is a science fiction novel by Terry Pratchett, published in 1981. It follows the story of Kin Arad, a terraformer who discovers that her world is an artificial construct. She joins a group of adventurers, including the enigmatic and witty spaceship pilot Jago Jalo, to explore the disc-shaped world and uncover its secrets. Pratchett’s trademark humour and satire are evident in this early work, offering a unique take on science fiction tropes. While not set in the Discworld universe for which Pratchett is best known, “Strata” showcases his talent for blending speculative fiction with insightful commentary on human nature.
