Prison of Ice, David Axton [Dean Koontz]
First edition, first printing, signed by Koontz on the title page. An very nice copy of this scarce Koontz techno-thriller, his only novel published under the 'David Axton' pseudonym. The novel would be later revised and re-released in 1995 as 'Icebound.'
Philadelphia and New York: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1976. Publisher's original pale blue cloth boards, spine lettered in black; pp. 298. A near fine copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight and sturdy, minor shelfwear to boards with a bump to the spine heel. From the collection of actress Marilyn Chambers, with her information penned to the front pastedown, else internally clean. Jacket shows just a touch of shelfwear and rubbing, protected in archival mylar.
