Ganelon Silvermane, the genetically designed super-hero of the Earth’s fabulous final centuries, has rapidly become the most popular of all Lin Carter’s creations. Brought to life prematurely, Ganelon’s adventures in a world of crumbling empires, ravaging hordes, and marvelous relics of forgotten scientific empires, are always edge-of-the-seat wonder novels — the best creation of the author of the Thongor, Green Star, and Callisto books, to mention but a few!
Now, in this latest novel of Gondwane, the world’s last continent, Ganelon has offered himself as hostage to the worst band of barbarians to roam the ancient plains of Earth. Ganelon, as captive of the Horde, rises to greater heights of heroism than ever before — and begins to assume the full power of his mighty being.
Lin Carter (1930-1988) was a noted American fantasy and science fiction author, anthologist, and critic who wrote over fifty novels, compiled over 25 anthologies, and authored multiple critical studies of the science fiction and fantasy genres. Best known for his Callisto and Thongor series of novels, Carter made a name for himself as a latter-day pulp author, imitating the successful adventure tale formulas made fashionable by earlier writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes; The Mars/Barsoom series), Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian), and Lester Dent (Doc Savage). Carter helped to popularize fantasy and science fiction not just through his own stories, but by anthologizing and promoting the works of many authors who would eventually become famous and influential in their own right.
