Author: Geoff Ryman
Date: 1986-08-00
Type: NOVEL
Series: The Unconquered Country
Language: English
Note: Slightly expanded from the novella of the same title. A rough word count of each shows less than 500 words difference. Technically, by ISFDB standards, this would be considered a CHAPTERBOOK with a SHORTFICTION content which would be the same as the novella record, as there is too little difference to be considered a new work. However, it did win awards as a novel.
