Lin Carter was a great fan of both Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs, and he expressed his love for the work of these giants by carrying on their tradition. His greatest tribute to them is his series of books and novels featuring Thongor of Lemuria, a sword-&-sorcery hero you might get if you put Conan, King Kull, and John Carter of Mars into a blender. For half a century Robert M. Price has loved the Thongor saga, and in recent years has undertaken to honor and to carry on his friend Lin Carter’s tradition of flattering by imitation. 'The Sword of Thongor' brings together ten of Price's Thongor tales. Richard A. Lupoff introduces this collection.
