THE WIZARD KNIGHT springs from the myths, legends and literature of times past. A teenager passes from Earth to a magical realm of seven worlds, where he is given a hero's adult body and named Able.

In his quest he battles giants, meets gods, heroes and a sorceress (who repeatedly tries to seduce him), and serves the mercurial dragon king Arnthor in a was that could end everything.

Paperback: 7¾" x 5". Zustand: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Laura Brett (illustrator). 2007 Edition. © 2004: 2nd in the 'Wizard Knight' series of books. 1st printing of 2007 edition:- Synopsis: A young man is transported from our world to the magical realm of Mythgarthr, where he is transformed into a grown man of heroic proportions. He takes the name Able and sets out on a quest to find the sword that will help him fulfil his ambition to become a knight and a true hero. Able gets not only a sword from a dragon, but an Aelf queen lover and a supernatural hound - and the desire to prove his honour. 'The Wizard' is the second part of Gene Wolfe's magnificent, bestselling fantasy epic, full of magic swords, giants, monsters, faery, quests, love and honour. The master storyteller has spun all these elements into one of the greatest fantasy stories ever told:- Review(s):- "Gene Wolfe is the smartest, subtlest, most dangerous writer alive today. If you don't read this book, you'll have missed out on something important and wonderful and all the cool people will laugh at you" - Neil Gaiman / "If any writer from within the genre fiction ever merited the designation 'Great Author', it is surely Wolfe. He is a wonder, yes, a genius" - Washington Post Book World / "No book has grabbed me quite the way that 'The Lord Of The Rings' did until now. I can't even pretend to impartiality in reviewing. I'm completely besotted. It really is that good" - The New York Review Of SF:- (original cost £7.99). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 16.999.00132
