T. JACKSON KING

NOVELS by T. Jackson King
I have backstock for two of my novels available for autographing and sale to 
interested SF readers. These novels will appeal to readers who like reading 
about aliens, archeology in space, alien cultures and hard SF with a cultural 
anthropology slant. They are:

RETREAD SHOP (Questar/Warner Books, 1988, 276 pages)
Story: Retread Shop--an alien-controlled galactic bazaar of unimaginable 
wealth, rigid caste systems, and ancient cutthroat rivalries. Young Billy 
McGuire,its only human, was unwanted, scorned, and forced to steal for his 
living. But now he has a patron, a mysterious alien trader and a new 
ambition: to become the Shop's first human merchant no matter what the odds.

Reviews:
"Engaging alien characters, a likeable protagonist, and a vividly realized 
world make King's first SF novel a good purchase for SF collections."
---Library Journal
"Fun, with lots of outrageously weird aliens."
---Locus
"I like the story very much indeed...because the whole technical concept of 
the Shop, its sheer size and raison d'etre, and the vast time scale...and the 
adept handling of these characters and technologies...makes the story...both 
utterly incredible and completely believeable. That made the short hair at 
the back of my neck prickle and ...it still does...One hell of a hard act to 
follow."
---British writer James White, author of the Sector General series.

PRICE: $4.50 plus $2 S&H (all copies are in used-good condition), total cost 
per copy is $6.50.

ANCESTOR'S WORLD, with A.C. Crispin (Ace Books/Berkeley Publishing, 1996, 304 
pages)
Story: On the planet Na-Dina, in Ancestor's Valley, the tombs of forty-one 
dynasties have lain undisturbed for six thousand years. But with the visitors 
from the stars has come progress, threatening the valley and its treasures. 
The human archeologist Gordon Mitchell and his team from StarBridge labor to 
salvage whatever possible from the royal burial sites. Some of the Na-Dina 
welcome them. Some resent their presence and the delay to rapid 
industrialization they represent. Still, Mitchell intends to fully explore 
the wonders of the Valley before it is flooded by a giant dam. Then one of 
the team is brutally murdered. To investigate his death, Cooperative League 
of Systems Ambassador-At-Large Mahree Burroughs arrives, determined to find 
the killer at whatever cost. What she finds during her search will change her 
life, the lives of the Na-Dina, and the lives of every being in the CLS 
forever.

Reviews:
"T. Jackson King is a professional archeologist and uses that to great 
advantage in Ancestor's World. I was just as fascinated by the details of the 
archeology procedures as I was by the unfolding of the plot...What follows is 
a tigthly plotted, suspenseful novel."
---Absolute Magnitude
"Another of A.C. Crispin's StarBridge adventures, this one fleshed out by T. 
Jackson King, whose work appears on the shelves much too seldom...Good cover 
by Duane O. Myers. Recommended."
---Norm Hartman, BookNet #10.

PRICE: $6 plus $2 S&H, all copies new, unused; total cost per copy is $8.
