The Jewels of Aptor

The Jewels of Aptor

by Samuel R. DELANY (1942 - )

Delany's first novel, from 1962, serves as a sort of prologue to the subsequent Captives of the Flame, 1963. Set several centuries after the Great Fire -- a nuclear holocaust -- a young woman seeks her destiny with the help of a four-armed youth. (Summary by BellonaTimes)
