First edition

New York: St. Martin's Press, 1979 . Octavo, cloth-backed boards. First edition. An overpopulated, under-resourced future Earth manages to send out star probes in search of planetary lebensraum. One such a world is found, the eponymous Jem, and colonization commences. A dark novel, amounting to a lengthy and rather bitter mediation on humanity's capacity to screw things up. - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science
