- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a Burroughs style Mars story, and nothing else. If you like those sorts of stories, you'll like this one, as it is well written, and the plot is decent. Its a bit more complex than a typical Mars swordsman tale, and well written. This is a reprint of a story from the 1940's, so this is not 'modern' fantasy, but the old fashioned kind. Its really a fantasy/sci-fi crossover (ray gun wielding goblins!) but more of a fantasy than scifi.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a bad story but also not a great one either. It is extremely fast paced so much so that it felt like there was stuff missing. There was a number of errors in the wording that made me actually stop and reread them a number of times, this to me seriously detracts from a story. The world he was creating in the story had a great deal of potential to be built upon though.
