Sword of Chaos

About this book

Darkover, the planet of the Bloody Sun, is one of the great triumphs of the imagination. Its people, its sciences, human and non-human, have been brought to life and its legendry has the ring of authentic flklore comparable only to the depth and complexity of the works of Tolkien and Frank Herbert.Around the novels covering the history of this world - the bestselling books of Marion Zimmer Bradley - there has grown an enthusiastic organization known as the Friends of Darkover. The occasional gaps in history, the explanation of Darkovan myth, occupy their thoughts - and many have tried their hands at tales to fill these marvels out.SWORD OF CHAOS is a book of new stories about Darkover, edited and introduced by Marion Zimmer Bradley, who has supplied two new stories of her own. In its pages everyone who has thrilled to SHARRA'S EXILE or THE SHATTERED CHAIN will find these stories fascinating, exciting, and very much the authetic Darkover.Content • A Gift of Love by Diana L.
