Yet, though Kothar's world existed in another age--perhaps another dimension--it springs vividly to life... moreFrom the world beyond--or past--time Kothar comes. From out of the deepest, most violent recesses of mankind's collective memory, Kothar the gigantic barbarian strides, the enchanted sword Frostfire glittering in his mighty hand. Lusty, hot-blooded, masterful, unafraid of things real or unreal, Kothar dominates the misty, bloody world before recorded time. Yet, though Kothar's world existed in another age--perhaps another dimension--it springs vividly to life. Mapped, charted, chronicled, Kothar's fantastic world suddenly becomes real--the sorcerers, dragons, witches, evil potions, unspeakable monsters. And Kothar, an epic hero for any age, overshadows everything.Includes the stories:"The Sword of the Sorcerer""The Treasure in the Labyrinth""The Woman in the Witch-Wood"with an introduction by Donald MacIvers, Ph.D. less

An "ice being", an eerie creature even in Kothar's world, used the helix for his own dark purpose... moreKothar stole the helix from the fat Emperor of Avalonia.
