Men joined the Space Legion -- the 24th-century equivalent of the French Foreign Legion -- in order to forget . . . and that\'s exactly what they did. A memory-erasing machine wiped out all recollection of the intolerable burden of guilt which had driven them to enlist. It was supposed to act selectively, but in Warren Peace\'s case it obliterated ALL memory of his previous life. \"You must have been a MONSTER,\" his new comrades said, admiringly. \"Everything you ever did must have been rotten.\" Could he really have been so evil? Warren didn\'t think so. He decided to try to trace his former life in order to recapture his past: a decision which led him into a bizarre series of escapades in space and time.Overall, this book is in very good condition. Hardbound in red-brown cloth with gilt stamping on spine, the cover is as new except for light bumping at the base of the spine. The iconic yellow dust jacket is a little faded on the spine but otherwise good, and not price-clipped. Edges of book are tanned with a few small spots of foxing. A tiny amount of foxing on the endpapers. Pages are moderately tanned, commensurate with age, but otherwise clean and undamaged throughout.
