THE GOLD CREW By Thomas N. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson New York: Warner Books/A Warner Communications Company, (1981). First paperback edition, first printing. Statement "First printing March 1981" and first printing number code sequence 1 through 10 to the copyright page; code 83-522, and price $2.95 to the front cover. This first paperback edition sports a very positive blurb review from Stephen King to the front cover: "The best count-down to-nuclear war novel since SEVEN DAYS IN MAY...for my money, a little better."--'Stephen King, author of FIRESTARTER'. Originally published by Warner in hardcover in 1980, this first paperback edition with the King blurb is quite elusive in decent condition. The gold crew aboard a massive nuclear submarine in Alaska hold world disaster missile launching capabilities, undermined by schemes from the U.S.S.R. to manipulate their decisions. Minute surface nick to the lower spine edge and to the front cover fore-edge, light rubbing to the shelf-edges, pages age-toning as usual, a touch of age-toning showing through from the production glue lines to the spine, the else tight, and very good plus to near fine in glossy stiff card wraps with cover art depicting a launching rocket, and with a Stephen King blurb to the upper front cover; original code 83-522 and $2.95 price still intact to the front cover; all page edges yellow, as issued.
