You can't go home again. This was the second of Lin Carter's books that I had read, after Tower at the Edge of Time, and the combination had cemented his books on my TBR list for far too long.

Put Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Star Wars and Harry Potter in a blender. set on high for two minutes, then pour mixture into a very episodic plot that just kind of bounces around. Sprinkle in a lot of verbosity. The result is sort of fun, but easily forgettable.

This book contains a sentient metal bird called a "Bazonga" and a chapter called "Flight of the Bazonga", to give you an idea.
It's fun and dumb and yes. ...more

This is the weakest series by Carter, in my opinion. I give this particular book two stars. It's the first of the series.
