Spawn of The Winds
Just finished reading "Spawn Of The Winds" by Brian Lumley, published by Jove/Harcourt Brace Jovanovich back in 1978.
Yes, "Spawn Of The Winds" is one of books in my "Great Re-reading of My Favorite Books from My Youth" project.
"Spawn Of The Winds" is the fourth novel in Lulmey's Titus Crow Sextuplet series of books which are set in Lovecraft's Cthulhu universe.
I first discovered Brian Lumley as an author when his first novel in his Titus Crow series, "The Burrowers Beneath" appeared in the new arrivals shelves of the Science Fiction section in Michele's Bookstore in the Bryn Mwar Shopping Center in Jacksonville, North Carolina. For those who are keeping track, yes, the lurid Boris Vellijo cover did cause Mr. Branch, the assistant principal of Camp Lejeune High School to call my parents and complain about another "inappropriate" book I was reading. How he would respond to some of the books students read today would be rather interesting. Mr. Branch's main complaint was that the cover had, dare I say it, a scantily clad preternatural goddess on the cover. Mom said he was absolutely horrified when she asked what was wrong with a boy being interested in a barely clothed woman on the cover of a book. She probably get CPS called on her today if she'd was around to make the comment now.
If memory serves me correctly, my old friend from college, Carter Perry, is a huge fan of Lumley's Titus Crow novels and short stories.
neither Titus Crow nor Henri de Marigny appear in this novel - which is odd, considering it's the fourth novel in the Titus Crow series.
The story takes the form of a telepathic reception record from Hank Silverhat, which was missing by the Wilmers Foundation telepath Juanita Alvares.
Hank and his team are captured and taken by the great old god Ithaca to the ice world of Borea, In addition to people, Arctic bears and wolves are brought and breed.
When Hank and his sister Tracy, fellow Jimmy Franklin and Paul White are taken across the dimensions to Borea by plane, the pilot dies.In addition, and Hank and the other men, with the exception of his sister, Tracy who had a Star Stone, which protected her, are transformed by the elder god in order to live in the ice world.
The four are attacked by the believers of the Ithaca, but they are saved by the Northern Warlord whose queen is Armandra, the half human daughter of Ithaca, who can also control the winds like her demented demonic father.
If Hank and his team are to survive in Borea, them most learn how to defeat Ithaca at any cost.
Strongly Recommended!
Five Stars!
