✦ Synopsis

'The Steel of Raithskar'

• When the fireball hit the cruise ship, Ricardo Carillo was already on his way out-a terminally ill language professor. He regained consciousness as a healthy young man in the desert, but it wasn't a desert on Earth. Further surprises awaited him in the exotic city of Raithskar where he was identified as Markasset, a master swordsman, son of a powerful leader, and a man on the run, accused of murder and the theft of a precious gemstone. With the aid of Keeshah, a great warcat with which he shared a telepathic link , he set out to clear his newfound name.

'The Glass of Dyskornis'

• For Ricardo Carillo, taking over the life of the swordsman Markasset on the desert world of Gandalara had its compensations: a strong young body, a beautiful fiancee, and a mighty telepathic warcat named Keeshah, who obeyed his every command. It also had its problems. Markasset had many enemies, and one was out for blood. So Ricardo and Keeshah left Raithskar to join the Sharith (the warrior brotherhood of warcat riders). But trouble followed, and he soon found himself in the company of a jealous lieutenant and a lovely but treacherous illusionist, on the track of the murderer who had stolen Gandalara's most precious gemstone.

'The Bronze of Eddarta'

• Somewhere in Eddarta, stolen by the treacherous assassin, lay the Ra'ira, the most precious gemstone of the burning desert world of Gandalara. Armed with the Steel sword of Serkajon, Rikardon and his telepathic warcat Keeshah seek the sacred stone. With the aid of Tarani, a beautiful illusionist with a mysterious past, they make a daring raid on Eddarta's royal citadel to rescue the gemstone before its awesome powers can be used for destruction.
