The Sorcerer's Ship

Hannes Bok

First published December 1942
Type Novel

<b>From the back cover of the Ballantine first edition:</b> "If Hannes Bok was primarily an artist rather than a writer, it is surely because the one activity left him little time for the other. But since he saw with an artist's eye and was most fortunately endowed with a talent for both forms of expression, Bok's prose is prismatic, jewelled, his imagery graphically clear. <p>From his small literary output Ballantine Books is happy to present The Sorcerer's Ship, here available for the first time in book form. <p>"A strange ship in a strange unearthly world - with a demigod as a passenger, and an enchanted jewel as cargo!" - John W. Campbell, Jr."

Not an expansion, but the same text as appeared in 'Unknown' in 1942.
