The Sword of the Lictor

Gene Wolfe · Timescape Books / Simon & Schuster (New York) · 1982

No separate book-club printing of the individual Timescape volume was documented in the sources consulted. Beware 'first thus' omnibus traps rather than club editions: the two-volume Sword & Citadel-style collections and the Science Fiction Book Club one-volume Book of the New Sun omnibus (1998) reprint this text and are not the first. Timescape/Pocket also issued a paperback, which is not the first edition.
