Parlier, Jean Series-Jack Vance

Parlier, Jean Series-Jack Vance

1.     Abercrombie Station (1952) novella

2.     Cholwell’s Chickens (1952) novella

This is sometimes referred to as a series but it is really just two novella’s with the same main character, a woman named Jean Parlier.

See each individual novella by title for my reviews.
