ALL SYSTEMS -- SNAFU!
If anything could possibly go wrong aboard the scoutship Dark Star, sooner or later it would. Now, in the twentieth year of their mission -- destroying unstable planets -- the ship and its crew were slowly and steadily falling apart.
After 20 years in space, isolation and lonliness had left thier mark. The four surviving crew members were bored beyond relief. Only an occasional bomb run or another of the inevitable malfunctions aboard ship upset the monotony.
Then, one day, Bomb #20 was primed, armed, and set to detonate...and suddenly life on the Dark Star became frantic...
This new Centipede Press edition of Dark Star is the first hardcover edition of this classic ever published. It features a new introduction by Alan Dean Foster, original poster reproductions, original artwork reproductions, some film stills through the text, and new dustjacket artwork by Ben Baldwin.
The book is fully bound in European cloth with multiple color stamping on the spine and front board. With a ribbon marker and Smyth sewn binding, this is a small, attractive hardcover that will find a place of honor on your shelves.
