NORSTRILIA
by Cordwainer Smith


MEET
Roderick Frederick Ronald William MacArthur McBan
The Richest Boy In The Galaxy
Rod McBan had to flee Old North Australia ...
someone was trying to kill him, and someone
had almost succeeded!





"The publication of this long, wonderful novel about the rich hayseed boy who bought Old Earth is a major event for science fiction readers. Back in the 60's it appeared in a jumbled form as two novels, The Planet Buyer and The Underpeople . . . but this version restores cuts and straightens things out. No one ever wrote like Smith, with his special blend of intense myth-making and rich invention. The great Earthport Tower at Meeya Meefla housing the Lords of the Instrumentality, and under it the dim twisted corridors where the Underpeople hide are haunting physical creations, while Smith's characters, especially that of his brave, pretty little cat-girl, C'mell, are wonderfully realized."
