Collector Notes
This Pocket Books edition represents one of the later Brak adventures and completes the principal run of Brak novels. Although more obtainable than the original Tower editions, vintage Pocket printings remain popular with collectors assembling the complete Brak series or building collections of classic 1970s sword-and-sorcery paperbacks.
