A first UK edition B format (130 x 198 mm) paperback with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. Age tanning to pages. Covers are showing some slight signs of storage wear to the extremities. The covers of the book are more orange than they appear in the photo.
SYNOPSIS: “When ‘dream husband’ Xan Meo is vengefully assaulted in the garden of a London pub, he suffers a head-injury and a personality-change. Like a spiritual convert, the familial paragon becomes an anti-husband, an anti-father. He submits to an alien moral system – one among many to be found in these pages.
We are introduced to the inverted worlds of the ‘yellow’ journalist, Clint Smoker; the high priest of hardmen, Joseph Andrews; the porno tycoon, Cora Susan; and Kent Price, the corpse in the hold of the stricken airliner, apparently determined, even in death, to bring down the plane that carries his spouse. Meanwhile, we explore the entanglements of Henry England: his incapacitated wife, Pamela; his Chinese mistress, He Zhezun; his fifteen-year-old daughter, Victoria, the victim of a filmed ‘intrusion’ which rivets the world – because she is the future Queen of England, and her father, Henry IX, is its King.”
