Spaceways: Volume 13: Jonuta Rising

New York: Berkley Books, 1983. First Edition, first printing, a paperback original. INSCRIBED by the author, Andrew J. Offutt, on the first page in the year of publication: "for Robbin / From her pal, the arther [sic] / John Cleve / 9-83." From the author's estate.

Offutt had gained some success writing adult novels in the 1960s and 1970s, using pseudonyms like John Cleve, Turk Winter, and Jeff Woods, and began to write legitimate science fiction and fantasy novels in the mid 1970s. He wrote and edited several fantasy series, including "Thieves' World" titles and "Swords Against Darkness." The "Spaceways" series (nineteen books, 1982-1984), along with his "Crusader" series published by Dell and Grove, bridges the gap between his two best literary genres: erotica and fantasy.

Captain Jonjuta, a wanted freebooter with low morals, follows his nemesis to a forbidden planet, where eager aliens seeks to copulate amidst a life or death battle. Cover art by Ken Barr.
