Ganelon Silvermane, the genetically designed superhero of the Earth"s fabulous final age, 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 fourth novel of Gondwane, the world"s last continent, Ganelon Silvermane has offered himself as hostage to the worst band of barbarians to roam the plains. As a captive of the Horde, Ganelon rises to greater heights of heroism than ever before . . . and begins to assume the full power of his mighty being!
