Christopher Priest’s 2005 hardcover first edition, Green Lantern Sleepers Book Three, is the pulse-pounding finale every Hal Jordan fan hunts for. At 312 pages, this U.S.–printed novel wraps the cosmic “Sleepers” trilogy in true blockbuster fashion: interstellar war, ancient alien tech, and the emerald hero pushed to his absolute limit. The story stands alone well enough for newcomers, yet longtime readers will savor how Priest ties every loose thread from the first two books into a climax that feels both mythic and personal. First editions in collectible condition have become scarce; finding one with its original dust jacket intact is increasingly rare.
What makes this copy extra desirable is the crisp, tight binding and clean interior—no dog-eared pages, no tears, no remainder marks. A previous owner’s discreet name on the front flyleaf is the only prior marking; the inscribed notation simply adds a touch of human history without diminishing value. Light shelf scuffs on the jacket are typical for a 2005 release that has clearly been read once and then safely shelved, preserving the vivid Kyle-Baker-style cover art that still pops on display.
Ages 9-12 can comfortably handle the fast-paced chapters, but Priest’s layered characterization and moral complexity reward teens and adult collectors alike. The novel bridges classic Silver-Age optimism with modern storytelling, making it an ideal entry point for readers transitioning from comics to prose or for parents seeking a hero tale that sparks discussion about power, responsibility, and redemption. Keywords parents and gift-givers search—Green Lantern, super hero, fantasy, first edition, hardcover—are all satisfied here, while the tight condition ensures the book will outlast multiple readings or appreciate on a collector’s shelf.
