From the world beyond tomorrow comes one of the galaxy's most intrepid adventurere - Eric John Stark. Brought forth out of the fertile imagination of Leigh Brackett, Stark again returns to face new dangers, his mighty sword ever ready to fight for a just cause. Lusty, hot-blooded, unafraid of things real or unreal, Stark dominates the exotic, frightening world of Skaith, a cold, dying planet outside the Galactic Union. It is here that Stark must locate his missing foster father...a man whom the heroic mercenary owes his very life.
Stark's quest beings in THE GINGER STAR, the first novel included in this star-flung trilogy. On Skaith for just scant days, Stark already finds himself a wanted man - hunted mercilessly by the Wandsman, malevolent nobles who hold the population in a tight grip of fear and slavery. By joining forces with a beautiful prophetess and a band of wandering freebooters, Stark is able to stay their evil plans long enough to discover where his friend is held prisoner. But will even Stark's strength and bravery be enough to stand up to the great Lords Protector - whose impregnable catle is guarded by the hellish, telepathic North-hounds, that conquer their victims with fear?
The action continues in THE HOUNDS OF SKAITH as Stark finds himself embroiled in a massive, planet-wide rebellion. New sights and dangers wait around every bend: monstrous sand waves threaten Stark's life in the barren northern deserts...flesh-eating marauders want to make a meal of him companions along the way...and a band of winged mutants start a reign of terror.
Then in THE REAVERS OF SKAITH, Stark faces his final challenge, as the downtrodden people turn to him as their leader. But will Stark be able to turn the tide of evil that threatens to engulf the planet in a shroud of freezing death?
The answers await in THE BOOK OF SKAITH, one of the most exciting and adventursome science fiction sagas of the year.
