| Condition Notes | Solid vintage mass-market paperback showing moderate shelf and reading wear. The cover has edge and corner rubbing, several creases and scratches, and some surface wear, particularly across the title area. Spine-side wear is visible, but the cover remains firmly attached and the striking wraparound-style artwork retains strong color. A respectable vintage reading copy. |

Born in the jungles of Borneo and raised among an indigenous people, young Pym grows up surrounded by ancient traditions, supernatural beliefs, and the dangers of an untamed world. His unusual origins eventually carry him far beyond the life he has known.
Pym’s journey becomes a sweeping adventure across seas and civilizations, filled with pirates, warfare, strange cultures, danger, and discovery. Attanasio blends historical adventure with myth and fantasy to create an ambitious swashbuckling tale about a young man’s transformation as he encounters an increasingly vast and unpredictable world.
EugeneBookStore Summary
Wyvern is an unusual blend of historical adventure and fantasy that should appeal to readers of epic journeys, pirate fiction, lost-world adventures, and imaginative historical novels. Its exotic setting and old-fashioned swashbuckling storytelling distinguish it from more conventional fantasy novels.
Collector Notes
This copy is the 1990 HarperPaperbacks mass-market paperback edition, ISBN 9780061000119. The dramatic illustrated cover and early paperback format make it an attractive representative of late-1980s/early-1990s adventure-fantasy publishing. A. A. Attanasio is also known for Radix, which was nominated for the Nebula Award.
