Review: A Fugitive on Skaith

Safe at last, or so Stark thought.

But before he could escape from the dying planet of the ginger star, he was betrayed by that treacherous Antarean Penkawr-Che. That villain among men intended to kill Stark, and this time there would be no escape. Or so Penkawr-Che thought.

Abandoned by friends and beseiged by enemies, Stark was a fugitive once more. Running from all those who hunted him, he embarked on a nightmare journey through deadly jungles and across predator-infested seas to risk his life for those who hungered for his death!

Summary: Skaith-all the spirit of Clark Ashton Smith-whit more hope
Review: Decadence,gloom,dreary ancient rites in ruined cities performed by degenerate priests in a rotting world.Clark Ashton Smith,Catherine C. Moore and Henry Kuttner,Jack Vance whit his Diyng Earth series have tried this particular genre.But Skaith is the refinement of it. And it adds a very necessary hope of salvation,and interesting story and personae.Not to mention a not so cryptic critic of communism and a prefiguration of the usefulness of supernational organisms,like Onu.
