CLASSIC SWORD & SORCERY IS BACK The stakes couldn't be higher. Human existence is under threat from a colossal evil. None will escape its long reach unless an ageing wizard can safeguard a nation's heirs until they come of age. But the solitary mage is long past his prime. Old and feeble he faces almost certain death against rising odds. What he really needs is a champion; a flashing blade to fight by his side in the ultimate battle. But noble heroes are hard to find. In his desperation the old wizard ensnares the first prospect he comes across; an untamed barbarian named KUDA. No kind of hero Kuda finds himself unwittingly swept up into a sorcerous maelstrom of bat-winged demons and sky-buccaneers. For better or for worse the future of humankind now rests on... THE SWORD OF THE BARBARIAN.
