GIVEAWAY:

• John Brunner, The Great Steamboat Race.  Historical novel.  Brunner was best known for his science fiction, including the Hugo-winning Stand on Zanzibar.  He also wrote fantasies, mysteries, thrillers, poetry, and songs.  Despite major acclaim within the SF field, he never really broke out of the SF "ghetto."  A major (still-unpublished) novel was tanked due to the ineptitude of its prospective publisher.  The Great Steamboat Race was Brunner's second try at a major mainstream novel.  Based on the well-known 1870 race between the Mississippi steamboats Natchez and the Rob't E. Lee, the novel is one of the best books Brunner wrote and he sure wrote a lot of great books.  For reasons beyond my understanding, this was not the break-out book that Brunner had hoped for.  This 1983 568-page Ballantine trade paperback was never reprinted to my knowledge; it never made it to hardcover.  So when I came across a copy for 50 cents at a thrift store, I scooped it up, figuring that someone out there might be interested.  The first one who lets me know in the comments that he/she wants it will get it.
