SynopsisKane An immortal, cursed to wander the Earth until he is destroyed by the violence that he himself has created. A warrior and statesman: As comfortable in the shadowy halls of courtly intrigue as he is on the bloody battlefields where those intrigue's inevitably play themselves out. Karl Edward Wagner's complex and compelling character of Kane redefines the boundaries of heroic fantasy, and stands besides Michael Moorcock's Elric, and Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser as one of the most idiosyncratic and compelling characters of the fantasy genre. Gods in Darkness gathers together in one volume the complete novels of Kane.
This book purports to reprint all of the Kane saga, but does not reprint ALL of the Kane stories, as it implies, but rather only the NOVELS, but is quite willing to sell you the two others, for a price. Such anal specifity was not appreciated. This is, incidentally, the publisher's fault, not Goodwill, whom I give five full stars!
Fantastic stories by Karl Edward Wagner. Though not signed by him, this is signed by the cover artist Ken Kelly. It would be nice if it had more interior art, but what can you do? The new Centipede Press copies trump it though.
