[Zarkon - Lord of the Unknown 01] • The Nemesis of Evil

ZARKON, LORD OF THE

UNKNOWN!

#1 in the Series

His fiendish foes would

do anything to learn the identity of the man called Prince Zarkon, who foils

their most diabolical schemes. But Zarkon remains a mystery to even his devoted

Omega Crew as they follow him to the ends of the Earth battling the forces of

darkness.

Now Prince Zarkon and

his Omega Crew must meet their ultimate challenge. Never before has Zarkon faced

an enemy as monstrous as the creature who calls himself Lucifer whose army of

satanic slaves, whose mastery of the black arts, and whose nearly infinite

arsenal of infernal weapons make him the greatest threat that mankind has ever

known!

Lin Carter (1930-1988) was a noted American fantasy and science fiction

author, anthologist, and critic who wrote over fifty novels, compiled over 25

anthologies, and authored multiple critical studies of the science fiction and

fantasy genres. Best known for his Callisto and Thongor series of novels,

Carter made a name for himself as a latter-day pulp author, imitating the

successful adventure tale formulas made fashionable by earlier writers such as

Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes; The Mars/Barsoom series), Robert E.

Howard (Conan the Barbarian), and Lester Dent (Doc Savage). Carter helped to

popularize fantasy and science fiction not just through his own stories, but by

anthologizing and promoting the works of many authors who would eventually

become famous and influential in their own right.
