Book Description

December 26, 2007
Subterranean Press is pleased to announce a small limited edition of the rare novella by Jack Vance that was eventually expanded into his novel Blue World.

The Kragen has been out of print for nearly twenty years, with the exception of its appearance in the Vance Integral Edition, a set of volumes published over the past few years that carried a cover price of $1500, for the least expensive edition alone.

Here's your chance to acquire a Vance limited at a bargain price, and cast your eyes upon a novella rarely seen since its original appearance in 1969.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Treasure, July 18, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kragen (Hardcover)
This is a short novel that was later expanded to form "The Blue World". In my opinion, this version is better, without the multiple plot elements of the later book.

Also, of paramount importance, Amazon doesn't make it plain that this is a numbered, signed, limited edition!!! The price has virtually tripled since I bought my copy a few month ago, not that I care since mine isn't for sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful early Vance, July 15, 2008
By 
This review is from: The Kragen (Hardcover)
The Blue World was the first Vance book I ever read, and it's one that I intend to reread this very summer. Enjoy this; there are images and concepts here that I still hold fond in my mind some 40 years after I first read it.
