Paperback Friday: Brian Stablefore pt. 1

I discovered Brian Stableford in a little used book shop in Morristown, Tn. He produced novels for Daw in the 1970s and the cover illustrations for his books just scream out at me. I've collected over half a dozen of his Sci-fi novels but haven't read any of them. Most of these books from the Deadalus series came from McKay Used Books and still have price tags of $.75.
