Elak, Warrior of Atlantis

Elak was introduced to the world by Henry Kuttner in the legendary Weird Tales in 1938. Now Elak returns in this first volume of a sword & sorcery trilogy that is a celebration of the classic genre and a homage to such grand pulp masters as Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E Howard. In Warrior of Atlantis, Elak the young adventurer, a reluctant king of one of Atlantis' northern realms, sets out to begin his unification of the vast continent. He meets sorcerers, decadent gods, demonic armies and every kind of aquatic monster imaginable, fighting his way to glory with his companions, Lycon, and Dalan the Druid, in a blood & thunder feast loaded with battles and mayhem.>With an introduction from celebrated Sword & Sorcery writer David C Smith.
