The Warrior of World's End

"THE FARTHEST FUTURE AS SEEN BY THE MASTER OF SWORD AND SORCERY

"I see Gondwane as it shall be in the untold ages of dim futurity, near the time when the Earth shall be man's habitation no more, and the great night shall enfold all, and naught but the cold stars shall reign. The first sign of the end ye shall see in the heavens, for Lo! the Moon is falling, falling. And there shall come a man into the lands, a man not like other men, but sent from Galendil.

"The name of the man is Ganelon Silvermane - and this is the first of a new marvel-adventure series by Lin Carter."

Book 1 of the 'Gondwane' series takes us back to the beginning of the 'life' of android superhero Ganelon Silvermane introduced in 1969's 'Giant Of World's End'. Once show more again Carter borrows the humourous style of Jack Vance's 'Dying Earth' series of which this is a pastiche.

Not as good as 'Giant' but I love the absurd Gazonga Bird. show less
