Princess of Amathar
I don’t expect you to believe this story, but it is the truth. My name is Alexander Ashton….
Mysteriously Transported to the artificial world of Ecos, Earth man Alexander Ashton struggles to understand the society of his new friends, the humanoid Amatharians. As he does so, he finds himself falling in love with their princess and being thrust into a millennium-long war with their mortal foes the reptilian Zoasians. As Alexander crosses the endless landscape of a fantastic hollow world to rescue the woman he loves but does not know, he encounters alien life forms and strange cultures, bizarre monsters and ancient ruins that point to the mystery of the artificial world.
She drew her long sword and I followed suit. We nodded respectfully to one another. Then with a skill and speed born of battle, Vena Remontar charged at me, bringing her blade down directly toward my face. I raised my own to block the stroke, and just as quickly she swung two more blows. The only thing I could do was take the offensive, so as I blocked the third blow, I swung my weapon on around in a great arc toward her side. The woman was off balance from her attack, so the only way she could block the arc of weapon, was to turn her back on me, and swing her blade outward to meet mine. I expected that this would offer me a chance to attack her back, but it didn’t. As soon as she had done so, she tucked and rolled forward, spinning as she rose to face me. This was a brilliant maneuver and would have put several yards between us, but I wasn’t ready to let up. Using my gravity-enhanced strength, I jumped forward, almost landing on top of her. Vena Remontar thrust quickly several times. I blocked those attacks and countered.
Princess of Amathar is a sword-swinging novel of high adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
