The Golden Age Trilogy
John C. Wright
Hailed by some as a new Arthur C. Clarke or Jack Vance, Wright earned high praise for The Golden Oecumene (The Golden Age Trilogy in this combined volume). Even more impressive was the fact that the first volume, The Golden Age, was his first published novel. It sets the stage for an richly detailed saga that spans the solar system while also exploring a deeply personal story through the eyes of the main character, Phaethon.
This particular copy is still in near mint condition, with only the tiniest bit of wear present as detailed on the Condition Description.
Synopsis
In the far future, where humans have become as gods, living lives of perfect peace and prosperity, Phaethon of Rhadamanthus House discovers centuries of his memory are lost. Like his namesake, has flown too high, and must be cast down: for he has committed the one act the Golden Age forbids, to have ambitions higher than utopia can contain. Now his quest is to find himself.

Feel free to contact me through eBay messages if you have any questions or would like more information about a particular listing. I clearly describe the condition of all items, including any defects or imperfections, and take multiple photos. Please carefully review the Condition Description and images when making a purchase, and take note of my policies:
| Pricing | Most items I sell are set to Buy It Now, but priced reasonably based on the market and sometimes still open to negotiation. Please do not send overly low offers, as I often list my items similar to or lower than others. In most cases I simply will not respond. |
|---|---|
| Shipping | Every item is weighed beforehand and entered into eBay's automatic shipping calculator, which generates the shipping quote based on the provider, your location, the weight and (when applicable for larger items due to volumetric weight) the box size. In general I ship the same day or next day when purchases are made, and they're all assigned valid tracking numbers through eBay's system. All items are packaged carefully with sufficient protection to ensure they reach you safely. Any items that exceed $100 in value, excluding those in limited categories such as books and magazines, will be covered by additional insurance in the full sale amount at no cost to the buyer. |
| Returns | Returns are accepted within 30 days following the date of purchase. In cases in which an item does not match the description or does not work as stated, a full refund will be issued, including the original and return shipping costs. However, in cases in which you wish to return an item for other reasons, or if an item was listed "as is" in the description, note that only the purchase cost will be refunded. The original shipping cost and the return shipping cost will be the responsibility of the buyer. BM3 |
