Subject: Powers' first (?) book

...was "The Skies Discrowned" from Laser Books (number 28 in the series), and
was published in May of 1976.  Very tough to find nowadays (came across mine
purely by accident in a small-town bookstore) but comes recommended as an
authors first big break into writing.

If I'm not mistaken, Laser was *giving* their books away at SF Conventions...
no wonder they're out of business...

(btw:  I think "Anubis Gates" was one of the best books I've ever read!  I
 keep hoping that Powers will release a book of his poetry one of these days
 [ his William Ashbless stuff is some of the best I've ever seen ])
