Lin Carter’s Flashing Swords #7 continues the grand tradition of Sword & Sorcery fiction, a genre created by the great Robert E. Howard! Lin Carter, with his fellow Hyborian Legionaries L. Sprague de Camp, John Jakes, Gardner Fox, Michael Moorcock, and others, kept the train charging down the tracks in the 1960s with exciting new novels. De Camp, Hans Stefan Santesson, Andrew J. Offutt, and Marion Zimmer Bradley shepherded valuable anthology series that reprinted heroic fantasy rarities as well as new tales by Richard L. Tierney and others. Perhaps the most famous of these excellent series was Flashing Swords!
