dedication: for anya

this may be the first edition or the first bantam books, inc. (merkia) paperback may be the first: it is dated 12/1979 but the copyright date by robert sheckley brings this date under question.
possibly simultaneous publication.

"seventh victim" was filmed as "the tenth victim": the film/script was novelised under the new title by robert sheckley: he later wrote the associated novels, "victim prime" and "hunter/victim".

Comments and Reviews

ppint. 30th Mar 2016		in the sense of the originating publishers' first edition, the first edition is the bantam press, inc. first printing, whichever actually went on public sale first. (cf. brian aldiss' second "helliconia" novel, "helliconia summer", whose dutch publishers issued their translation made and published significantly before the originating english language publishers managed to publish the original english language text. . .)
