Paperback. 208 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Condor, USA, 1978. *** CONDITION: This book is in good condition. More specifically: Covers have light creasing and superficial rubbing/wear. Edges of covers have moderate wear. Spine has minimal reading creases. . Pages are reasonably tanned. Minor water damage to covers and text. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Sword Smith tells the tale of Limper, a master sword smith running from an oppressive boss-king who forced him to make junk, and Nargri, his young dragon companion. Written in the early 1970s, and published in 1978 by Condor, The Sword Smith is an anti-epic fantasy. In a new Afterword written for this edition, Arnason describes the characters as "mostly fairly ordinary people, rather than heroes, wizards, and kings. Their problems are ordinary problems, rather than a gigantic struggle between good and evil. There is no magic. The dragons are intelligent therapod dinosaurs, and the trolls are some kind of hominid, maybe Neanderthals. In many ways, it is a science fiction story disguised as a fantasy. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Science Fiction & Fantasy; ISBN: 0895160285. ISBN/EAN: 9780895160287. Inventory No: 18040020.
