About this ebook
Grimly Eric John Stark slogged toward that ancient Martian city—with every step he cursed the talisman of Ban Cruach that flamed in his blood-stained belt. Behind him screamed the hordes of Ciaran, hungering for that magic jewel—ahead lay the dread abode of the Ice Creatures—at his side stalked the whispering spectre of Ban Cruach, urging him on to a battle Stark knew he must lose!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thoroughly enjoyable but not entirely predictable space opera. Action-oriented but with sufficient descriptive passages to persuade the reader that you are on a different world. This is really a novella, quickly read over the course of a weekend, with two short stories fleshing out the rest of the book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had forgotten how much I loved S&S before starting to read Brackett this week. Another terrific John Stark novel from Brackett, I've been on a Sword and Sorcery bender this past week and this story stands up to her others quite well, I particular liked the siege and the lead up to the battle.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A pretty good story, great looking book. "People of the Talisman" is a rewrite of this story, similar beginning, totally different ending.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Ah, the old pulps. :-) We have our Mighty Hero who binds himself by a promise to a dying friend, and then dares all and endures all in fulfillment of it (and to save his world as he knows it). Plus a pretty love interest to keep us occupied until the real love interest is revealed (and to be sad and wise about him near the end). The eponymous 'Amazon' is pretty cool but it's probably no real spoiler that it's Our Mighty Hero who wins the day.
