A Traveler from an Antique Land

Mix one shot of George R. R. Martin with one shot of Robert A. Heinlein for a potent cocktail of epic battles, thrilling adventures, non-stop action, and astonishing marvels When a young woman is whisked away to a planet populated by kidnapped humans and strange extraterrestrials, she faces perilous swordfights, flying battleships, mind-controlling alien lifeforms, crocodiles with wings, snakes that devour horses, an extinct race that communicates through its singing sculptures, an "uncertainty sink" that warps time, an interplanetary translocator guided by disembodied human brains, a gloomy castle seething with secrets, and labyrinthine catacombs filled with deadly assassins.
