And a copy of the blurb text from the website

GURPS New Sun combines history with a fantastic future! Based on the
award-winning science fiction of Gene Wolfe, New Sun melds fantasy and technology
into a unique fusion of swords and lasers, treacherous beauties and starfaring
rogues, monsters from  history and monsters from outer space, professional
torturers and nobles who duel with poisonous plants.

                        Join the young torturer Severian, naive servant of the
Byzantine and shadowy Autarch, as he winds through the crumbling metropolis of
Nessus and slowly learns the truth behind his world -- or create your own
stunning campaign based on the indelible imagery of the Book of the New Sun.

                        128 pages. Suggested retail price $19.95
                        Stock number 6096  ISBN 1-55634-416-3
