The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov (1972, Hardcover)

Description: Vintage EX LIBRARY hardcover with the usual library markings. Acceptable condition but heavy wear. A mylar cover has been removed leaving the paper remants behind affixed to the book under the inside dust jacket flaps. Most of the wear on the dust jacket is at the top edges where it is wearing away. Some of the pages have detached at the the top of the spine, perhaps an inch long detachment and will need to be re-glued. This book is too old to have an ISBN # or bar code. A couple small stains on the page edges, but the pages are in surprisingly good shape with no age related tanning that I could see, but as mentioned, some will need to be reattached at the top. The Gods Themselves is a 1972 science fiction novel written by Isaac Asimov, and his first original work in the science fiction genre in fifteen years. It won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972, and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1973. In the twenty-second century Earth obtains limitless, free energy from a source science little understands: an exchange between Earth and a parallel universe, using a process devised by the aliens. But even free energy has a price. The transference process itself will eventually lead to the destruction of the Earth’s Sun—and of Earth itself. Only a few know the terrifying truth—an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien inhabitant of a dying planet, a lunar-born human intuitionist who senses the imminent annihilation of the Sun. They know the truth—but who will listen? They have foreseen the cost of abundant energy—but who will believe? These few beings, human and alien, hold the key to Earth’s survival.
