Sold to DAW in 1975. To my best knowledge
the editions pictured here are the only ones ever published though.
The following is a translation of a french blurb:
Let us introduce this as a play: mild mannered Paul Craig, a 27 year old
Terran, has yet to find his full psychic balance. Only alcohol brings him
a little comfort and confidence.
Now, imagine this turn of events...
First, he discovers that he was, without his knowledge, equipped with gills;
second, that he has been kidnapped. And third, that he is onboard a spaceship
heading towards Kiber, a remote watery planet. Neurotic hallucination?
Alcoholic nightmare? He's going to find out!
His kidnappers in any case know what they have in mind: to conquer Kiber,
eliminate Garren, the current sovereign, and to replace him with Paul.
Nothing less!
What saves us, Mama Craig often said, is to always keep a pure heart. Simple, no?
