There, appearing in the body of a fabled hero, he is to experience all that his heroid fantasies had yearned for. A princess to be saved . . . an invader to be thwarted . . . and otherworldly monsters to be faced! A thrilling adventure in the grand tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs, as only Lin Carter can tell it! This edition includes an afterword by Lin Carter.

Richard Smith, a former college athlete working on an oil tanker, is inadvertently kidnapped over two million years into the future by blind scientist, Midos Ken, and his beautiful and brilliant daughter, Thon Ahrora. Unable to return to his own time, Richard joins their quest to find the Catalyst: a rare substance capable of granting eternal youth. After failing a final desperate attempt to synthesize the substance, Don Galeen, one of Midos Ken's scouts returns with the news that he's found what they seek, but it is in the most inhospitable of places: a rogue planet guarded by unimaginably horrifying creatures. Against seemingly insurmountable odds and harried by the evil pirate, Garo Nark, Lord of the Dark Star, the group sets out to recover the Catalyst and grant eternal youth to all of humanity.

An immensely pleasurable biography of two interwoven, tragic figures: John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald In this radiant dual biography, Jonathan Bate explores the fascinating parallel lives of John Keats and F. Scott Fitzgerald, writers who worked separately—on different continents, a century apart, in distinct genres—but whose lives uncannily echoed. Not only was Fitzgerald profoundly influenced by Keats, titling Tender is the Night and other works from the poet’s lines, but the two shared similar fates: both died young, loved to drink, were plagued by tuberculosis, were haunted by their first love, and wrote into a new decade of release, experimentation, and decadence. Both were outsiders and Romantics, longing for the past as they sped blazingly into the future. Using Plutarch’s ancient model of “parallel lives,” Jonathan Bate recasts the inspired lives of two of the greatest and best-known Romantic writers. Commemorating both the bicentenary of Keats’ death and the centenary of the Roaring Twenties, this is a moving exploration of literary influence.
