The Dark World: A Sword and Sorcery Classic!

A Sword and Sorcery Classic! World War II veteran Edward Bond's recuperation from a disastrous fighter plane crash takes a distinct turn for the weird when he encounters giant predators, a red witch, and the undeniable power of the need-fire, a portal to a world of magic and swordplay at once terribly new and hauntingly familiar. In the Dark World, Bond opposes the machinations of the dread Lord Ganelon and his terrible retinue of werewolves, wizards, and witches, but all is not as it seems in this shadowy mirror of the real world, and Bond discovers that a part of him feels more at home here than he ever has on Earth. Kuttner uses science to explain the various beings and magic in his alternative world, which makes the novel far more interesting than just a fantasy story. This book inspired many SF authors to look at fantasy as a mode to tell their science based stories. An exciting Sword & Sorcery classic with enough science in it to make it believable. In many ways profound.
