The winged barbarians and the wingless wonders.
Only
three humans survived the wreck of that spaceship on the little known
planet of Diomedes. One was the beautiful ruler of a distant colonial
world; another was the fat, slovenly owner of a great Solar trading
company; the third was a handsome, blue-eyed engineer.
The
survivors had food for only six weeks, for the native food was one
hundred percent poisonous to people. So in that limited amount of time
they had to gain the trust of the winged barbarians who held them
prisoners, end the terrible war that these Diomedians were engaged in,
and persuade the wing-men to carry the three across the thousands of
miles of unmapped territory to the single Earth spaceport.
Their desperate efforts to beat that fatal deadline makes War of the Wing-men one of Poul Anderson's most exciting novels.
