Sobre este artículo
New York: Pantheon Books, 1979. SIGNED by the AUTHOR on the half title: "With best wishes -- Robert Cormier." NOT inscribed to any specific person. Fine condition. Sharp corners. A bright, shiny, clean, square, tight copy. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. By the author of I AM THE CHEESE and THE CHOCOLATE WAR. This copy features the publisher's sturdy "Gibraltar Library Binding" (as in sturdy as the Rock-of-Gibraltar). However, this copy never went to a library. The binding is clothbound and beautifully illustrated in full-color (much more attractive than the trade hardcover which has cheap, plain paper-covered boards that are not only flimsy, but also totally unillustrated). We believe this "Gibraltar Library Binding" was not issued in a Dust Jacket. The front cover is photo-illustrated in full color with a terrorist wearing a ski mask, so a dust jacket would have been superfluous anyway. Although intended as a thriller for young adults, this is a captivating page-turner for readers of any age. Summary: "Events of a hijacking of a bus of children by terrorists seeking the return of their homeland are describes from the perspectives of a hostage, a terrorist,, an Army general involved in the rescue operations, and his son.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR. Fifth printing. Hardcover. Fine condition/No jacket, probably as issued. 8vo. (x), 235pp.
