About the Book
Durdane the Threathened
Far to the south of the swampy middle
region and beyond the ken of most of the people of Shant, lay Caraz,
the wild continent, peopled by exiles, nomads and slave traders. It was
from this southern wilderness that disturbing rumours began to filter
north. Men said that the Rogushkoi had returned to Durdane, that magic
airships landed in the night to spirit men away and that other ships
came to engage them in fierce battles.
Etzwane feared that
behind these strange rumours lay the dread presenbce of the Asutra, a
race of parasites who combined their hosts' strength with their own
advanced interplanetary intelligence. Unless they were stopped, Durdane
would be turned into a vast fishpond for the enslavers. Etzwane had
already delivered his world from slavery. But could he alone save
Durdane from the terrible threat of the Asutra?
