Lin Carter – författare

Lin Carter introduces readers to Tolkien''s epic trilogy then takes them on a scholarly yet populist journey through the massive web of myths and legends that Tolkien drew on for both imagery and themes during his life''s work. Carter''s book places Tolkien''s trilogy in the context of world mythology and legend and is a tribute to Tolkiens power of assimilation and original vision. It is the ideal introduction to the background of the LORD OF THE RINGS for the legions of new fans.

THE CLASSIC FANTASY SERIES FROM THE CO-AUTHOR OF CONAN THE BARBARIAN! At the height of the Vietnam War, Jon Dark is a helicopter pilot for the International Red Cross, flying numerous rescue missions... until the day his helicopter crashes in the Cambodian jungles.

Stepping through the portal, he arrives on Callisto - a savage, hostile world terrorized by insect-men and the infamous Sky Pirates of Zanadar. It is a world of black and crimson jungles where Jon Dark - now known as Jandar - finds not only chilling dangers awaiting him, but also the love of a beautiful princess.
