Otherwise remarkably clean. A very good PLUS copy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighest recommendation here - The Last Western is an incredible, sprawling dystopia sci fi epic that begins with a multiracial baseballer player from Truth or Consequences ascending to the Papal Throne. A masterpiece in a simiilar vein to books like A Canticle for Liebowitz, or even more closely, The Alteration by Kingsley Amis. Extremely scarce these days. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alarum Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49168882729268,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4895\/3652\/files\/PXL_20260620_140753830.jpg?v=1782087908","url":"https:\/\/alarumbooks.com\/products\/the-last-western-thomas-s-klise","provider":"Alarum Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
