Heroes of Atlantis & Lemuria – Manly Wade Wellman, Leight Brackett, and Frederick Arnold Kummer, Jr.

I showed them my sword, and they trembled and louted low.

And I pray the gods for another and fiercer foe.”

In his travels he encounters creatures from the stars, self-proclaimed gods, nefarious wizards, and untrustworthy lascivious queens. For years fans of sword-and-sorcery fiction have demanded a collection containing all of Manly Wade Wellman’s tales of Kardios. Their demands had not been met—until now! In addition, this book contains all of Frederick Arnold Kummer, Jr.’s Lemurian adventure stories (also never collected before) and a hard-to-find Leigh Brackett story set in Mu. Join the heroes of Atlantis and Lemuria on their fantastic adventures!

“Here was danger, here was strife,
Here was conquest, too;
Yonder lies the road of life,
More to see and do.”
