This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and every once in a while they even write home to say what they've been doing.

From the back cover: "In The Deceivers, Bester reinvented the space opera for the late 20th century. The hero is Rogue Winter--King of the Maori Commandos... His lover is the beautiful Demi Jeroux, who has been kidnapped by... The villanous, demonic Manchu Duke of Death."
I like the cover art, and it makes for a nice change that it sounds like the book has a non-white protagonist, but I don't think I'm going to get to this one any time soon, so it will go traveling instead.
