First edition. Dust jacket art by Fridolf Johnson. The first novel by Browne is an historical fantasy featuring Tharn, a Cro-Magnon man who fends for himself in nature and the jungle, rescues a slave cave girl, fights animals, enemies, dwarfs, and neanderthals, becomes a leader, and has a son. Browne, who is highly regarded as a top-of-the-line hard-boiled literary mystery author, was also an early pulp and magazine editor, a Hollywood TV script-writer, including 'Rockford Files', 'Maverick', and 'The Virginian'; and a film screenwriter including the film 'Capone'.
