The Land of the Gods according to American Indian legend was a place of plenty, peopled by strange and deadly creatures. And as Bass Fosters fellow castaways struggled to save the Indian tribes from Spanish invaders and the perils of their depleted land, it was only natural that they use the air cars and matter projectors that had been left by travelers from a future beyond their own to explore the forbidden lands. But what awaited them was a horror even modem weapons of war might not be able to defeat, destruction on mortal lands! And back in Ireland Bass found himself hailed by the warring clans as a kingmaker, but as his reputation grew his danger did too, for the High King would let no man or legend come between him and his plans for conquest...
Author
Franklin Robert Adams (August 31, 1933 - January 4, 1990) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer, formerly a career soldier. He is best known for his "Horseclans" books. He wrote as Robert Adams, an abbreviated form of his full name. Adams was an early pioneer of the post-holocaust novel. His Horseclans novels are precursors to many of today's attempts at this type of story, many of which do not exhibit his painstakingly detailed world view or extraordinary plot follow-through (many of his Horseclans books are so interlinked that they make sense only when read in order; he did not create many "stand alone" books in the series). Hallmarks of Adams' style include a focus on violent, non-stop action, meticulous detail in matters historical and military, strong description, and digressions expounding on various subjects from a conservative and libertarian viewpoint.
