![]() ![]() Also recommend is his sword & sorcery anthology Swords against Darkness (five volumes). Andrew Offutt : his Tiana novels are good fun. ![]() Science fantasy (Well of the Worlds, Mask of Circe etc.) Van Vogt : Book of Ptath : wonderful science fantasy David Mason : Kavin novels and Sorceror's Skull Sprague de Camp : Reluctant King novels (funny swordĪnd sorcery : always rare) and Zei novels (planetary romance) In the Burroughs tradition, much better than Norman. Alan Burt Akers : his first 5 Dray Prescot series are not too bad. I'll give some other recommandations in this now almost forgotten subgenre of sword and sorcery (or in some cases science and sorcery) : I have read most of these people and they're all recommended (especially Smith, Wagner, Howard and Brackett). I read some reviews who claim the earliest Gor novels (beginning with Tarnsman of Gor) are rather enjoyable and less obsessed with degradation of women than later in the series. And mind you, I really like pulp fiction. I tried to read one of his novels (Fighting Slave of Gor) and had to give up after 20 pages. ![]()
