The Luck of Brin's Five

Ditmar Award winner 1978.

From another world.

On a cold winter night in the ancient land of Torin, a messenger from Earth fell from the sky. Discovered by Dorn, eldest son of the family of Brin's Five, Earthling astronaut Scott Gale was taken under the wing of Dorn's family and called Diver, the Luck of Brin's Five. From the peak of Hingstull Mountain to the banks of the golden river cities, Diver led his adopted family to the peaks of fortune – and the depths of peril – fighting telepathic battles and navigating narrow escapes, with the mystical sorcerer from across the sea his only aid against the evil forces of Strangler Tiath Pentroy, the feared ruler and oppressor.
